Love thy Neighbor | Celebrating family life

I certainly wouldn’t drive there…

A grandmother was driving home until she got pulled over by a State Police officer. After checking her license and registration, he gave her a ticket. She asked, “Sir, don’t you give warnings anymore?” He replied that her warnings were posted up and down the road –the speed limit signs.

There was no limit to a small village perched up on a cliff. Those who lived carefree and ignored danger fell off the edge, while those who stayed inside lived in constant fear of the edge. A woman suggested they build a fence around the edge of the village. This way, the people could live happily and without fear, knowing they had a protection around them. So is God’s law for each of our families.

Do you see God’s signs for you? What does He wish for you?

Let us pray that we may be wise enough to follow the laws of the Lord.
