February 2, 2019

"We've been infected with this idea that love is an emotion only felt between two people. But love is universal. An energy. A contagious force. A gift. To offer money to a homeless man is love. To save a worm from the sun is to love. To smile at a stranger is to love. To be grateful, to be hopeful, to be brave, to be forgiving, to be proud, is to love." A.R. Lucas

Dear Aspen Chapel families,

    February is here! The love month! It's evident in City Market and in all the storefronts that it's the time of year for heart candies, red heart boxes, red outfits, chocolates, and Valentine's Day decor! So it's only appropriate that at Sunday school we celebrate the idea of Love for the month of February. 

     The commercial version of love that's displayed in all the supermarkets, window displays, and advertisements for Valentine's Dinner specials implies that love is all about romance and the love between two people. In Sunday School, we want to expand the idea of love and broaden its definition.
    When we are operating from our highest mind, which is typically accessed when we take time to be silent and grateful, we tap into the love that resides within all of us. The expressions of this love can be observed in everyday actions: from making sure our pets have clean water to spending quality time with someone.
     Tomorrow we'll start our February theme by discussing what love is, words that describe love, talking about how others show love, and when we feel love. We'll then do an art project that illustrates how love plays a role in each of our lives. Following our project we'll read a story and go into a guided meditation.
     I hope you'll be able to join us tomorrow!
