Double Vision



In my last post I introduced Kevin (L) and Kolton, my favorite twins. The other day their dad shared this more current photo with me...my how they've grown. But they haven't just grown taller. Here are a few comments from their parents' perspective:

"Kevin and Kolton are a product of the Pleasant View Church family. They are full of compassion for others, they love going to church, and they ask spiritual questions almost everyday as they seek to know more about who they are. As the twins that they are, they learned to share and be patient much earlier than most. They also learned to comfort and to cry when their brother was hurt. That is what the church is and should be. I learn something new from them everyday. Today...is their 7th birthday. God bless you and PVUMC! We love and miss you guys!"

Well said. The New Testament also has some direction for us regarding brotherly love:

"Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other."
~ 1 Thessalonians 4:9 (NIV)

"Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart." ~ 1 Peter 1:19 (NIV)

"Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
~ 1 Peter 3:8 (NIV)


Happy Birthday Kevin & Kolton. May your lives always be filled with brotherly love!
