good news: the weather was gorgeous today.
bad news: i have not been to the beach since january (when this photo was taken).
since the sun came out to play today, i saw more miatas than usual. just like motorcyclists, miata owners acknowledge other miatas with a wave. several times today i waved at total strangers and they waved back. with the wind whipping through my hair, i searched my heart to figure out why that simple gesture made me feel so happy. it all came down to {i belong}. by owning my car, i belong to the "i own a miata" club.
silly as that sounds, i think we all want to belong. not necessarily to the miata club...but to something.
as a child of God, i've got countless family members whom i have never met. wouldn't it be cool to know at a glance that a brother or sister is walking by? it would be amazing to know in an instant that we have that common ground.
i think God wants that too. we are called to be set apart (Leviticus 20:26) and to be a light in this world (Matthew 5:16). but above all we are called to love.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:35
