The greatest love the world has ever known started in a humble stable in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. Later He suffered and died to conquer death for us. Knowing what he endured, it’s difficult to comprehend the depth of unconditional love He has for us. Before He was crucified, he preached a Gospel telling us to love one another.
Today with wars popping up and hate rhetoric we might wonder if we’ve run out of love, if we’ve abandoned it, or if we’ve forgotten where to find it. We can’t manufacture it. We can’t buy or demand it because we can’t dictate what’s in a person’s heart. It must be given and received. It was given on Christmas in Bethlehem and again on the cross when Jesus died for our sins. We only need to accept it. Once we do, it lives inside us and spills over to others.
Luke 2: 11-12, “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. You will find a baby wrapped in cloths lying in a manger.”
People Who Care
The characters in Hair Calamities and Hot Cash care about each other. The Christian romance with comedy and a touch of mystery has its roots (no pun intended) in my mother’s beauty shop at the foothills of the North Carolina Mountains. Customers who frequented her salon ranged in their associations from best friends to mere acquaintances and even those who kept a distance from each other. They sometimes gossiped or gave one another a cold shoulder, but let someone suffer a loss or a tragedy. The prayers went up and casseroles went out no matter whether the person was a best friend or someone kept at a distance. I wanted to recreate the spirit of the close-knit community.
