- Minots Ledge Light (Scituate, MA) is special
- Rather than have a steady rotating beam it has been blinking out a repeating series of pulses; 1, then 4, then 3 since 1894
- 143 represents the number of letters in each of the words of a three word phrase: I Love You
- In 1947 when the US Coast Guard wanted to automate the light and return it to a steady rotating beam there was such an uproar from the the people of New England and sailors worldwide that the Coast Guard left it to blink out its unique message: 143 I Love You
- Love is powerful
- Unloving expressions are like sand in the machinery of your life. Add it in continuously and soon enough and your life won't work anymore
- Love is like oil in the machinery of your life; it keeps things running smoothly
- “For this is the message from the beginning, that we should love one another... let us love not in word or speech, but in truth and action” (1 John 3:11,18-19)
- Love is powerful, but it is abstract until it is expressed in and by you
- If you would like to transform your relationship with a person, circumstance, or situation, enfold them in love. Let this be an experiment in secret. Do this quietly in your heart every day. Bless them/it every time you think of them/it.
- A woman opened a restaurant where two others had failed. She succeeded. Her “secret?” “I just blessed all my customers. I loved them as Jesus taught us to do. I loved the complaining man as well as the satisfied customers. When customers leave my place I not only invite them to come back, I silently send them a blessing of love and pray for their prosperity and happiness.”
- Love is powerful
- There is nothing you or I have ever done, ever said, or ever thought that can diminish or destroy the love God has for us
- When you think of our church would you silently send a blessing of love and happiness?
- Thank you, 143.
