THE READING CIRCLE
Because music and reading inspire us, develop us and allow our minds to travel. Both are critical in the development of our children.

Love without boundaries
Yesterday my pastor preached about love. There was a time when I would I tune out during these messages but I have learned that the concept of love is not as simple as it sounds. My mind immediately went to this scripture as he was talking.
"But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons (and daughters) of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your bretheren (or sisteren) only, what do you do more than others? Therefore you shall be perfect (or mature), just as your Father in heaven is perfect (or mature).
Too often we hear messages on love and we decide to love our children more, our spouses and our neighbors. But this love, though important, is not the only thing God is calling us to in this hour.
Several years ago I found myself working with emotionally disturbed children. It was so easy to become angry and frustrated by their behavior since they often hit, spit, kicked and call us horrible names. And then we would read their history. It changed my perspective and helped me to understand and have emphathy for them. It even caused me to fall in love them. Through this wilderness experience (that lasted 8 years) I learned unconditional love.
My question is this. Can you love someone outside of your circle? Can you love someone who doesn't act, think or look like you? Can you love someone whom you have been taught your entire life was your enemy? These are the characteristics of mature a Christian.
