A "SYMPHONY"

Dear Friends, what if a bell rang in heaven every time we went out of our way to help someone, said a kind word, gave a small gift for no special reason, hugged a child or an elderly person, greeted a disabled person, or forgave an insensitive remark? I am not talking about “doing good works” to earn a heavenly merit badge. I am talking about creating an atmosphere of love that penetrates the darkness and resounds in peals of joy from heaven, gladdening our hearts and bringing a broad smile to the Father’s face.

This Christmas season let’s create a symphony of bells!  Can you imagine what it would sound like? Bells ringing at all hours of the day and night?

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!” (1 Chronicles 16:31).

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another (John 13:34-35).
