1 Corinthians 13:13 “But now abide faith, hope, love these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
And so with this verse we end our study of faith, hope, and love. It has taken a year and three months. Hopefully we will all still grow in faith, hope and love as we continue to meditate in God’s word.
As I considered what the next subject should be my family Christmas ritual came to mind. On Christmas Eve we started with a nice salmon dinner, then Dad would read the Christmas story from the family Bible which launched us into a lively discussion of a spiritual aspect of the Christmas story or another spiritual topic, followed with prayer. The gifts came last. After Dad passed away in 1990, my brother took over reading the Christmas Story. My mother would select the topic we were going to discuss. Many years ago she decided that each year a fruit of the spirit would be the topic and we would talk about how it related to the Christmas Story.
So as my mother continues draw closer to heaven, Galatians 5:23 will be the next topic of my blog. Here’s to you Mom and thanks for the idea, but most of all thanks for your example of faith, hope and love.
