NO GREATER LOVE THAN THIS<br />

ROB LANEY<br />

John 15:13- "No one has greater love than this, to<br />

lay down one’s life for one’s friends."<br />

When do we ever have the opportunity to lay down<br />

our own lives? Someone in the military making the<br />

ultimate sacrifice. First responders running into<br />

danger. Absent this kind of mortal purchase, we at<br />

South Hills CC do avail ourselves of opportunities to<br />

donate our energies.<br />

We can give $5 to a cause. We can give a homemade<br />

dish to a potluck brunch. We pray our efforts,<br />

clocked by God, can be of some use when we give<br />

of our time. We are indeed giving of our lives. We<br />

hope it is of value and that momentous offering can<br />

be costly. Is there anyone you know in your life who<br />

is not constantly busy? Even retirees. Is it the new<br />

normal?<br />

I am personally extremely grateful for those who<br />

spend their heartbeats on Thursday evenings<br />

practicing anthems with the choir so to enhance<br />

the worship of our community. Volunteering in this<br />

day and age is a rare<br />

commodity. Giving<br />

when you don’t have<br />

to give. The giving<br />

of your life for your<br />

friends is a great gift.<br />
