Infectious Love

During this season of Flu and Colds, we begin to understand how easily germs spread.
If we're not careful, we might "pick up something."
Wouldn't it be great if love was in the air more than germs?

I heard Tertillian quoted during the Roman plagues that he wanted to "infect people with love". Picture your kind words and good deeds spreading through your home, your work place, your community. What could be better? Inoculate yourself against anything that might hamper your love: bitterness, anger, pride, anxiety.

Tolstoy proclaimed it too: "I have reached the conclusion that the only purpose in the life of every man is to strengthen love within himself, and by strengthening it within himself, to infect other people with it."
