John 15:12, 15, 17 —

"This is my command: Love each other as I have loved you. 

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing.   But I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I heard from my Father. 

This is my command: Love each other.”

We are each of us angels with only one wing. And we can only fly embracing each other.
      
-- Author:Luciano De Crescenzo

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them." - Mother Teresa

'Tis not enough to help the feeble up, but to support them after.
~ William Shakespeare

Life Education seeks to share real experiences of humanity's differences.  This page is solely dedicated to collection of real life experiences of positive and negative difference that help us to better understand our own views of the world we live in.  It is our hope to enlighten our readers to gain insight and respect for our differences and seek to learn more about each other and our self.  If you have any stories or experiences you would like to share relating to Deaf or Other Physical, Emotional, Mental, Cognitive, and Learning Disabilty Life Experience, please send us an email to "embracinglambs@gmail.com".

Notes from an Embracing Lamb...I will post messages that come to mind and need sharing because of their significance to the situation that brought them to mind.

June  2008:

It has been awhile since I last wrote any thoughts.  We have been very busy with the mission of God to reach out to people who are struggling.  God has increased our work in Aftercare ministry and Congregational Life Consulting.  God is teaching us what His Will is for us and to those we serve.

Please take a look at this powerpoint (click on word) found on Godtube to get a sense of who God is.  Many people struggle with believing in this wonderful, gracious, merciful, loving, forgiving, and understanding God.  Never give up on God because He has not given up on YOU!   Allow him to talk to you through His Word.  How can you make a judgment about something if you don't first listen and understand?  God Loves You and will listen and understand you.  Give Him the same courtesy.  I pray for you.

May God Embrace you in His loving arms and may you embrace others in your loving arms so that they may know that God loves them too.

Rev. Mark
