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

1 Samuel 3:1-10 (NRSV)
..
Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. The word of the LORD
was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.
..
At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see,
was lying down in his room; the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was
lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was. Then the LORD
called, “Samuel! Samuel!” and he said, “Here I am!” and ran to Eli, and said,
“Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.”
So he went and lay down. The LORD called again, “Samuel!” Samuel got up and went
to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call,
my son; lie down again.” Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, and the word of
the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. The LORD called Samuel again, a third
time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Read More

A Valentine may play a love song for you,
but God sings you the sweetest love song in the universe.
The Lord your God…will rejoice over you with gladness. He will keep you quiet with his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
…
A Valentine may give you flowers,
but God sent you the most beautiful rose of all, Jesus.
I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valley.
Song of Solomon 2:1

..
DURING a time of intense conflict in my family, I cried out to the Lord, “Where
did we go wrong? Didn’t we go to church, read together, pray and play together,
and do all the things that are supposed to bring and keep families together?
Why can’t we get along when we have you in our lives?” I felt like a failure,
as if somehow I had let down God and my family.

The thoughts you hold most often and most intensely are the thoughts you will put into action. What you think about life determines what you do with your life.
If you worry enough about something you don’t want, you will, unfortunately, find a way to make it happen. In the same way, when your most treasured dreams are clearly and meaningfully focused by your thinking, you’ll find a way to make them real.
