On my wedding day, my dear friend Brenda read the love chapter. You know it.
Without love, noise.
Clanging symbols.
Resounding gong.
Without love, nothing good.
No mountain-moving faith.
No alms for the poor. No worthwhile sacrifice.
But with love, abundance.
Yes!
Love is patient and kind and truthful and protecting and trusting.
Love always hopes. It always perseveres.
Love wins.
When love wins, you win. This is why: Love personified — that is, Jesus, fully God, fully man — accomplished what only love can. It stretched its arms and invited you to receive love.
The only reason you possibly can love God or your spouse or your child or cat or dog is this: Love first loved you.
Question: How do you show love? Words? Gifts? Finding ways to help others? Please share a comment.

Hopefully Yours,
So important to remember to remember is that Our Lord is the only Rock which we (Jerry and I) could build on when we entered our marriage. After two failed marriages, when I met Jerry my first question was, “Who do you say that Jesus Christ is/was/and will be????” He gave the wrong answer and I did not marry him until we had read the book, the Bible out loud from cover to cover. You can not read the Bible without finding out the whole story of God’s love for us.
We had the love chapter read at our wedding.
