Put on Love

Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:14 NLT
 
Have you ever heard perfect harmony? It is beautiful…well, I imagine it is beautiful. I’m a bit tone deaf—but if someone sings alto in my ear…I can sing alto along with them. It is sweet music when joined with soprano, tenor and bass singers. I love three or four part harmony—especially a cappella or even when accompanied by a piano or guitar. Heaven is going to be glorious—gathered around the throne singing constantly to the Lord. I can hardly wait. That will be a joyous expression of love. Here on earth, now, love connects us together with each other and with God. That is the important relationship. You and God. Me and God. But what would those relationships be without the Holy Spirit? Shallow? Empty? Non-existent? The Holy Spirit fills us with love…an essential ingredient that creates a bond in a relationship. Love. The most important quality…in all of life this side of Heaven and beyond. What is life without Love? Empty. God is love. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:8 NLT. Are you clothed in God’s love?
 
Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, help us to see God’s love for us and within us…that we would love others.
 
Friday’s Feast at the Lord’s Table
It’s time for cool summer drinks. Here’s one that has less than 150 calories—and comes highly recommended by my daughter-in-law who loves caramel.
 
Caramel Frappuccino
1 cup double strength freshly brewed coffee, chilled
1¼ cups half-n-half
3 Tbsp sugar, or to taste
2 Tbsp Caramel topping
2 cups ice cubes
¼ cup fat-free whipped topping—or canned whipped cream
 
Combine all the ingredients, except the whipped topping, in a blender on high speed until the ice cubes are crushed and drink is smooth. Pour into two tall glasses and top with whipped topping. Garnish with additional caramel sauce, if desired. Serve with straws. Serves 2. Enjoy.
