our love for God shows in our love for others

The scripture for the above is found in John 13:35. I got to thinking that this is one commandment that is the hardest to follow. Our youngest son has now taken a new job with working with retarded people as he felt he wanted to do something that mattered. This got me to thinking, do I do things in my life that show my Christian love to those around me or do I hide that love. This will be my new goal in my life is to show love to the people in my life that are hard to love. We all have these people in our lives and put them aside with many excuses as to why we do not associate with them but that is not what our Lord would have us do. I pray that if any of you have someone in your life that you should try to get to know better and learn to love that with Gods help you may find a true and rich friend.
