“Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.” (1 John 2:9-11)
I remember reading these words several years ago when I was well into my walk with the Lord, but still struggling with what it meant to love others (not just my “brothers”) the way Jesus has loved me. It felt so beyond any ability I had to even imagine such a thing in myself.
There is so much hatred in our world today. And it seems to me it is as much in the Body of Believers as it is in the world at large.
And yet it was always there in abundance whenever I asked Him to enable me to minister in His name. That infinite, uncontainable, unconditional love, beyond all measure poured into me in power the first time I ever encountered God in a personal way as an adult. And I knew then that God is love.

It was a busy day for giving out roses. Our first stop today was Rainy Crest Home for the Aged. I felt like I was in my element. It was like going to our local senior care. Sally did a nice concert and all the while she sang we visited with each and every resident, offering them a rose, finding out their name and praying for them. While some people rested 3 of us went to deliver more roses to the local Safeway.
I met many interesting and grateful people. But my favorite was Betty. She said, “You can remember me. Just think of Betty Boop.” She loves God, knows God, and thinks that ATOR is just the best thing to happen in the area. She asked for a hug and I willingly gave her one.
At the Home for the Aged I met this woman named Vereen and I told her Jesus loves you. And she looked like she was trying to say something and maybe 2 or 3 minutes passed and the only thing she could get out was “no.” She had severe dementia. Yet somehow we were able to laugh together in this place of real joy that was supernatural. And she was singing along with Sally but had no comprehensible language.

Day 6
It’s true. The team was sent to the hospital today. Fortunately, they were on a mission from God and the fruit was evident from the moment they stepped into the parking lot.
Here we come/ Walkin’ down the street / We get the lovingest looks from / Everyone we meet/
Hey, hey we got roses . . .
Day 5
ATOR TESTIMONIALS
SALLY H.
Was a good day. I saw the man that we requested prayer for his wife, Tammy. His name is Greg. I told him we had prayed for her and he was pleased and asked us to pray for him. He was going for a job interview to change professions. He is hoping to get another job so he doesn’t have to drive truck. My testimony went well and I was able to minister to the young man, Chris again. And we really found some common ground in the grief issue.
