Hi Barbara, I certainly agree with you that love can go a long way to heal most wounds. But humanity has never been able to manage that. I can't see how religion can help with all that. Man even kill each other for one religion or other. A Cynical view? Maybe. But it's the sad reality. Ulla:)

Comment from Goodadvicechan
I always enjoy your letter(s). I particularly love this one -LOVE.
Unfortunately we live in a political fighting world. Our country is DIVIDED, not United.
You are right. Love can stop this war. But I don't see it's coming.
Let's pray and wish peace on us.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is a strong list of what to hope for: "The reason I have made this my most important hope for the future is because, world peace, poverty/starvation/no fresh water, disease/sanitation issues, gender inequality, slavery/human trafficking, are just a few that could be solved if we loved one another." this is so true: "The hardest to love are the ones who need it the most." I used to puzzle to my therapist why there were students who were so hard to like. He said they unconsciously make themselves unlikable because of their social fear.
Well developed.

This is a beautiful thought to share with your granddaughters. Love is the most powerful force in the world, and I trust that your words will inspire them both to love the Lord with all their hearts and to love others.

Comment from Ben Colder
Teach them what love is and who love is. God is love not of fleshly feeling but spiritual toward His love for all. Some kids get love wrong and follow lust and Self desires than knowing if they are in Christ then love puts on a whole different meaning. Sending you blessing and prayers for your mission to be successful.

Comment from Sally Law
A sweet letter to your granddaughters, dear Barbara. Key is loving God, loving self and others. Your last point is truly important. The need for love in our society is evidenced in the daily news. Think of what they'll be facing in the years to come.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the book.

That's perfect! Thank you for sharing such wisdom with us and with your lovely granddaughters! You're so right that if we all choose to follow God's command to love one another, we wouldn't have the problems we have.

Comment from Jasmine Girl
Wow. This is a very short one. I agree the most important lesson should be about love. Love should be the most powerful force in the world. I still believe love will overcome hate and evil. I hope I'm right.
Well done.

Comment from Douglas Goff
The last line of the entire piece rings so true it's scary.
The fallen are hard to live, hold onto, approach. Like hugging a porcupine.
Good stuff. These letters will be dear to your grandchildren. Especially as they age.
