I’m not sure I can always tell love from passion. One father said of
his teenaged son, “I don’t know if he’s in love or in heat!” What
teenager would know? Besides, feelings of attraction can change more
quickly than a pouty expression.But love, in its truest form, is greater than feelings. It is as much
a decision as it is a feeling.Love is what Mr. and Mrs. Strauss shared. Mrs. Isadore Strauss was one
of the few first class women passengers to go down with the Titanic in

God’s love. Now, go and brighten
someone’s day just by being you.

Make it a great week!
My best to you, always.

“Is Anyone Listening?”
By Bob Perks
.
“How are you today?”
“I’m fine, how are you?”
“I’m not so good today.”
.
Silence.
.
Most of the time we take conversations like this
as simple chit-chat. Nice words spoken as a
courtesy without real concern or obligation.
.
“How are you today?” he asks the next person.
“I’m doing great! How are you?”
“I’ve been better,” he repiled.
.
He rings up the sale, hands her the bag and
she leaves.
.
The next person moves up, “How are you today?”

If you’ve ever struggled making the right decision, you may appreciate
this story:
A young man seemed to take an unusually long time to place his order
at the flower shop. When the clerk asked how she could help, he
explained that his girlfriend was turning 19 and he couldn’t decide
whether to give her a dozen roses or 19 roses — one for each year of
her life.
The woman put aside her business judgment and advised, “She may be
your 19-year-old girlfriend now, but someday she could be your
50-year-old wife.”
The young man bought a dozen roses. He made his decision from both his
head and his heart.

Aligning Actions And Words
Actions Speak Louder Than Words
..
Words carry a lot of weight in this world, from how we say them to what we say with them, but it is through our actions that we bring things into being. This is what we mean when we say to one another that actions speak louder than words. In many cases, what we say doesn’t necessarily line up with what we are doing, and it is here that it becomes clear that it’s easier to talk about doing something than it is to actually do something. At the same time, it’s easy to keep doing something that we don’t necessarily acknowledge ourselves doing verbally. It’s good for all of us to take a look every once and a while to make sure there is alignment between what we say and what we do.

The Consequences You Sow
Action And Effect
..
All motive and action affects the cosmos in some way. The principle of cause and effect is the truth that allows us to change ourselves and the world around us for the better. However, this same universal law is also at work when change is not at the forefront of our minds. Our intentions flow forever outward in the form of energy, affecting both the people closest to us and billions of individuals we will likely never meet. For this reason, we should strive always to speak, think, and behave with great thoughtfulness and compassion. The virtues we choose to embody can inspire joy and integrity in the lives of countless people, whether we touch their existence directly or not.

– Our Loving Friend — Romans 5:6-11
…
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and many people no doubt received cards, gifts, or kind words from friends and family. But no matter how tender our expressions of affection can be, human love pales in comparison to Jesus’ divine love, which He demonstrated by dying on the cross to save us.
