Love through a small group!

After studying 1 John 3:11-16, I challenged my small group to go out and do an act of love/kindness. Here are some of their stories (with name changes)! Sorry it might sound awkward cause I'm just filling in the I's with fake names.

• Yesterday (March 24th) during the crazy rain, Pablo was making his way to class with his gigantic umbrella. And as he was almost at the door, he closed his umbrella within like a step of the doorway so that he could optimally take the next few steps to be in the rain for the least amount of time cause ya know, it's hard to like close your umbrella and open the door and hold the door while closing your umbrella and all that. So he had it all planned out and it worked perfectly but right when he was opening the door he realize someone was coming right behind him and instead of holding the door for them, he just quickly went inside so that he could avoid the rain. It probably wasn't a big deal for that guy but right after he stepped in, Pablo thought about how he was supposed to be EXTRA loving this week and he had totally failed at that. So from that moment on, throughout the rest of the day he made sure he held the door for as many people as he could and there was one that he held for quite a bit and several people walked through with smiles and "Thank you"s. So it was sweet!
• Yesterday as in Thursday (March 24th), Haley folded clothes and washed some dishes so that her mom would have less things to do when she's home. Haley's dad hasn't been home for over a week now because of business. Since he came home, Haley made him some lunch. She's never that nice to her dad. :X. haha. However, she did.
• So Pablo was just sitting at home reading the love blog that some of the girls do, and then his dad rand the doorbell. Normally Pablo's sister would go down to open the door for him and grab his bag and what not, but this time Pablo was much closer to the door than his sister was but he still didn't move hahaha. He just sat there reading the blog and then he stared at his sister, cause there was also a big bag of trash to take out. And then he realized how ironic it was to be sitting there reading the love blog and staring at his sister do all this stuff that he probably should've been doing instead. So he got up and did it! haha took out the trash and all.

"Just letting you ladies know that your blog made an impact haha." Pablo
