Just stayed a week with Pastor, Himself and his dear wife, I've honestly never witnessed Such LOVE in all my life. They played the role, 'Samaritan', Which comes so naturally, Another pair with 'gift of helps'  That's shown with love, so free. Just like the 'Good Samaritan' Renowned in 'one' of  'four',  For His care and attention, Their love stems from 'hearts core'.
