12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:12-14
This passage explains how we are to treat each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. Be compassionate, be kind, be humble, gentle, and patient. There are moments when we want to embrace each other, and moments when we want to shake each other. But, God forgave us and He sees the depths of our hearts and loves us the same. We in turn can love each other because of the love He has for us.

This started as a way for Stacy and I to focus our attentions on Things From Above instead of the distractions, heart aches, disappointments, and false truths the world throws our way. I hope that through our sharings, all who read will be able to come closer to understanding the fullness of God's amazing love. ~Tamara
