Love your neighbour

This weekend our family celebrated a 60th wedding Anniversary, it was a joyful occasion and we toasted the happy couple as they shared  the secrets of a long and happy marriage.

Among these were mutual respect and love for one another, listening to each other (and sometimes deliberately not listening), doing much together but also allowing individual interests and lots of gin and tonic.

I can't ignore the debate over another union this week and whatever the outcome, I hope the same ingredient my in- laws shared and that Jesus taught so many years ago will remain  sacred...that important commandment ;

 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12 vs 30-31
