MARRIAGE LICENSES
LARRY MEDERICH OSCEOLA COMMUNITY CHURCH
We all know the feeling. It is the connection with a loved one who continually shares words and actions of unconditional love. Loving people are incredible not only because of how they make us feel but also because of how they compel us to be our best. We end up becoming more loving too! Even when we have really messed up our
loved ones just keep caring about us. They show us there is hope for a fresh start. They might occasionally bring a word of correction but we know that it is said in love and it is meant to make us a better person. There is nothing like being loved! If loving words and actions toward one another can make all the difference why is there so little love? Why do we hide from the clear opportunities to share what lies within us? How much
love is being shared in your home between husband and wife and between siblings? Is your home a loving place to live? It can be! What about that person we encounter walking down the street or in the grocery store or in church? Can we consider our town a loving place if we don't acknowledge one another with at least a friendly smile, greeting or a light-hearted comment SEE MEDITATION, PAGE 8
