JW: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 1 Corinthians 13:4

JD – A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. – Phyllis Diller

EB – TNT….I’m dynamite!

Love is such an interesting concept for us to work to understand.

In English, we have just the one word “love” that we use to talk about everything from our spouse to the dessert we had last night after dinner.

Supposedly, other languages have multiple words for “love” and use these to distinguish between the different types of feelings and actions we need to take.

One of my favorites in English is the word charity. CS Lewis uses this a lot in his writing to describe the kind of love we should have for each other.

I like that word for it because charity immediately brings to mind for me being selfless and putting others above ourselves.

In the end, I think that is the most important element of love that we need to have for each other.

Imagine a door in a busy place and you are the one holding it saying “you first”. That is an act of love for another.

If we can adopt this attitude and demeanor in our daily interactions with others each day, we will be loving in the way that can generate happiness, peace and success.

Make it a great day.
