Winter is here!

A couple of weeks ago my wife, Irene, and I were in the USA at a time that most were saying it’s the most beautiful time to visit. I must agree that it was mostly sunny and the flowers were beautiful to watch. Unlike the time when it snows, even though I always long to someday [...]

The reason I love doing what I do!!

True love…a life of sacrifice

The bible in 1 Corinthians 13 Paul outlines a number of characteristics of what true love is not. And then does dedicate a better part of the chapter to show us what true love really is. What a wonderful chapter to meditate upon!! One thing is true about love, it is relational. It does not [...]

Your Love Extends Smiles Abroad
