Love One Another . . . I have read those words thousands of times, but they took on new meaning as I sat in the home of a small woman in Nairobi, Kenya. The home had no electricity, running water, heat or air conditioning. Honestly, most of the items in the home could be found on the curb in trash piles in America. The woman was HIV positive; her husband had left her, and she was raising four kids alone. But, this same home had joy, peace . . . she had a smile that was infectious. This small woman touched my soul with her joy.
Prior to my meeting this woman, CARE for AIDS had touched her, teaching her hygiene and nutrition, sharing skills for making a living and counseling on a spiritual relationship. CARE for AIDS was the “one” that loved “another.” Those who gave and supported CARE for AIDS were the “one” who loved this “another.”
God made each one of us to need another. CARE for AIDS provides an opportunity for each one of us to love another on the other side of the planet.
