In Paul's letter to the Colossians, he acknowledged them for their demonstrations of faith and love. They were known widely for being faithful and loving people. Their reputation preceded them, as the saying goes. What are you known for? How do people feel when they know you are expected. This brings to mind a childhood rhyme that was used to support good behavior. Let it never be saidAnd said to your shameThat things were much nicerBefore you came.Turn up the level of your faith and love. I think the world could use it right about now.God bless,Rev LeonLuke 1:1-14
