A love poured out

These two brothers lost their mother and an unborn brother in a car accident when they were 2 and 3. Now they are 8 and 9. For the past 6 years, Joshua worked with their father and had stayed with them. In a couple of days time, Joshua will be getting married and they are the page boys. Their faces shone shyly as we practised the bridal entry in today's rehearsal.

Something strange and wonderful caught my attention. They had this unhindered demonstration of affection for their "uncle Joshua" who will be starting his own home with his bride in a few days time. At every opportunity they were practically wrapping themselves tightly around Joshua and hanging on to him. Did they sensed that he was going to spend less time with them, or was it just a plain evidence of a love poured out and received?

As we got warmed up in our conversation during lunch, these two boys also demonstrated ability to show gentleness, politeness, and affection to their uncles's friend - me. I felt the spurts of a love poured out and received.

Thanks be to God for His wonderful love.

The world is a better place with people like Joshua.

God bless you richly as you start your new home with your bride.

May God bless with manyfold returns of your love poured out.
