Love is....

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and I found myself reflecting on how commercialized "love" has become. 
From flowers to chocolate we are bombarded with "buy this for your Valentine".  A gift to show someone that you love & appreciate them is a wonderful idea, but don't fall into the trap that's it's NECESSARY to let someone know they're special?
It's the little things we do that say...I love you!

It is always from within the heart that we let another know how we feel.

The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. (Luke 6:45)

 Love is patient

 love is kind.

It does not envy,

it does not boast, it is not proud. 

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,

 it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

     Love never fails.

(ICorinthians 13: 4-8)
