Love Is

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; 

love does not brag and is not arrogant,

does not act unbecomingly; 

it does not seek its own, 

is not provoked, 

does not take into account a wrong suffered, 

does not rejoice in unrighteousness, 

but rejoices with the truth; 

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, 

endures all things.

1 Corinthians 13:4

May love fill your heart today.

Gentle Comfort

So many of our friends are in the midst of trials right now: the loss of loved ones or illness,  financial difficulties or broken relationships. These images and thoughts are especially for those who are hurting today. May God's love light shine on you and give you strength and comfort.

"Beautiful light is born of darkness, so the faith that springs from conflict is often the strongest and the best." -- R. Turnbull

It was a happy thought to bring 
To the dark season's frost and rime 
This painted memory of spring, 
This dream of summertime.

John Greenleaf Whitter -- From his poem "Flowers in the Winter"

As lilies fair from the foul mud grow, 
So oft it is with good men below;
In daily life they absorb the pure,
And the adverse elements endure;
And rise, through grace, to a higher sphere,
Their hearts in heaven, and their root down here.

Joseph Horatio Chant from his poem "Water Lily"
