“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour 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.”
This may be from a book called The Bible, but the words about love are truth. I am not living up to them yet, but will keep striving to do so. It was shared with me today, and I was reminded it had been read at my mother in-laws funeral. It is worth trying to live up to. She did, and I hope one day I can too.
I have not lived up to this yet either – thanks for sharing.

Striving to live up to this is the best we can do, but doing it together certainly helps with the motivation to keep at it, and helps take away the burden of acknowledging our failures. What we can’t do alone, we can do together… thank you for being on my train.

Hi Kate, this is just so true. Sometimes we dismiss the words from the Bible but so much of it is just as relevant today as it was back when it was written. Hope and Love Robynx
