Our Signs...

Political Signs......
They are everywhere...some make us cheer...some make us angry...
But,they ALL represent something about what we believe....what is important to us....
or at the very least, who we listen to. 

"The high priest then asked Jesus about His Disciples and His Doctrine" ~John 18:19

Ay Chihuahua.(My words, not His) 

Imagine the high priest asking Jesus about His Beliefs....and His response was,
 "Ask those who have been listening to Me. 
They know well what I have said."~John 18:21  

Flash forward to 2016...
Uh. Oh. that's us--
The ones who have been listening.
the ones who know well what He has said.

and here's my nutshell understanding of what I have heard Him Say....
Love God. Love Others. 
The end.

Our doctrine is one thing....Our words and the way we treat each other, is another.
(Including those we disagree with politically.)

What if the signs in our front yards told more about us than who we are voting for?

What if you drove through neighborhoods and saw....
"Forgiven"..."Sorry"..."Grateful"..."Happy"..."Funny"...
"Loves red wine"..."Can't deny a Madrid's Tostado Burger"...
"Skipped church yesterday"..."cranky this morning"...
"Trying to do better today"...
"I Love God and I Love Others."

Even though we don't have these signs out front...make no mistake...
we are walking around showing people something.

Our signs are... 
"New every morning.
 Great Is His Faithfulness"~Lamentations 3:23

So, here we are....today is a new day....there is "a blank sign in your yard."
What will your's say today?

God, Please forgive me for judging those I disagree with....may others see Love on our signs.

In His Dust,
DCC
