(Elyse DeBruyn photo) In keeping with Heart Month, Rev. Pat Cook spoke to the young at heart about love at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, Feb. 1. She told a story about a friendly, kind, happy, patient and loving old dog who found a stray, dirty and scared kitten. The dog kept feeding, loving and caring about the kitten even though it hissed at him and scratched him. After some time his caring taught the cat what love is. Rev. Pat suggested all need to show each other that kind of love, kindness and patience. The morning's epistle reading was 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13. That passage tells what love is. The responsive reading was Psalm 71. Too Close, was the title of Rev. Cook's message and the text was found in Luke 4: 21-30, part of the record of Jesus reading in His home synagogue in Nazareth.

The people of Nazareth could accept Jesus as a carpenter, the son of Joseph, but not as the Saviour. They were unable to trust Him for He was too close to them.
