What are you choosing over love?

Today I will choose love.
I will choose love until it becomes my first response...
I will choose love until it becomes who I am.

Let love start this day.
Let love end this day.
Let love transform the minutes in between.

(from Only Love Today:  Reminders to Breathe More, Stress Less, and Choose Love ~  by Rachel Macy Stafford)

What's your point?

I told my husband the other day:

"The point is not how much sin they have, but how much love I have."

I would add, "The point is not how wrong they are, or how right I am, but how much love I show."

Can't we get it?  The point is always love.  

Fasting during Lent?

During this time of Lent, I found this quote:

"Decrease is only holy if its destination is love."

Where do your decreases lead you?

Let all lead you to love.

How big is your world

What is your overriding principle of life?

"Living in love is the greatest principle of all."

Alexander Loyd
THE LOVE CODE

To Love and to CHERISH

Love is the athletics of marriage.  Cherish is the art.
Love is the muscle, cherish is the heart.
Love is the narrative, cherish is the poetry.
Love is the work, cherish is the dance.
Love may cause you to wince, cherish will make you smile.

Gary Thomas
