Love One Another Campaign Comes to a Billboard Near You

Love One Another

At 94 years old, Franklin resident, Shirley Bachelder, has gained a lot of attention.

And if you drive around the area, you will see Shirley’s billboard with three simple yet powerful words-“Love One Another.”

A Go Fund Me page was created telling how the “Love One Another” campaign got started. See the excerpt below from that page.

 

Shirley Bachelder had a bucket list. That’s where this story begins and honestly, I don’t know where it ends! What I do know, is that my mother’s words have touched many people. Her three simple words… love one another.

Shirley had a vision to air her own television commercial and her Sunday school class at Christ United Methodist Church made it happen! Reporter, Terry Bulger of WSMV-Channel 4 (Franklin) visited Shirley at The Manor at Steeplechase and did a wonderful feature story about her bucket list. At the end, he closed with her :05 second commercial. Since then, life for the 94 year spitfire has been a festival of cards, flowers, letters, and visitors from all over the country. Shirley’s three simple words grew to encompass priceless tales of faith, of letting people in and recognizing when they need to know they are loved.

“I think that people who have learned to love do so in giving and in doing and in telling. There are some people that need to be told that they are loved and it is up to you to tell them.” Shirley Bachelder

Her inspirations always come from God. She considers herself a willing messenger. Willing to hear his words and carry out his instruction. With that, Shirley clarifies that her message is for everyone, “I don’t care what religion they are or what denomination. I think that loving one another is the primary focus of God’s word.”

 

Through a successful Go Fund Me effort, Shirley has not just one but 21 billboards across Nashville thanks in part to Lamar Advertising. love one another
