An Attitude of Love

Life presents us with challenges that we must overcome,

And sometimes all the detours can leave the senses numb.

Life is filled with stumbling blocks we pass along the way.

But it can become a stepping stone when love comes into play.

Wherever there’s an obstacle that we must rise above;

It helps to overcome it with an attitude of love.

For anger never solves a thing, and stress will bring us down;

But love unlocks the doorway where hope and faith are found.

So many things divide us throughout the human race;

But love’s the great uniter, the smile on mankind’s face!

Life presents us with challenges that we must rise above,

And blessed is anyone who can maintain an attitude of love.

            Jesus’ short life on earth was full of stumbling blocks. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of a series of those blocks as He journeyed to Jerusalem to suffer & die for the world and its salvation. He would never make it to the top of Mt. Calvary without taking on an attitude of love. He would never complete the mission of salvation without arming Himself with an attitude of love. Likewise, our lives are full of challenges. Our world is filled with hate & violence. We need to imitate our Lord & put on an attitude of love. For love will help us overcome those obstacles & open the way to hope & faith for us. Love will unite us with one another & with our Lord. Let’s cover ourselves with an attitude of love & begin the spiritual journey with Jesus this holy week & see where it will us.
