How Love sees






When I make school visits, children often want to know about Scotland, the country where I grew up, and also about Ireland, where I spent so many childhood summers.

I like to tell them that one of the great gifts of my Celtic background is that I grew up knowing that what cannot be seen is often times more real, more important than that which can be seen with the eyes.

The Celtic people have a tremendous reverence for nature, for mystery, for the sacredness that surrounds us, if only we can see with the eyes of LOVE.

LOVE IN ACTION

The theme of this month's read aloud is LOVE - but as I have said before, LOVE, does not mean the sappy soppy stuff of Hollywood - it is not a feeling - it is something we DO.




Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch is a delightful example of LOVE in action - of ordinary people doing tender little acts of love that turn a lonely old man into a jolly soul filled with a joe de vivre!




As Mother Teresa maintains, we need to be mindful of those in our world who are not dying from lack of food, but rather from lack of love......





Good question for me to ponder.....

What little acts of love can I do for someone today?
