LOVE IS A VERB....
One of my all time favorite quotes from a man I admire....Billy Graham
READ IT AGAIN,
THIS TIME REALLY READ WHAT IT SAYS.....
How many times have you said, "I Love you" out of habit?
Love is a verb
It's easy to say the words I-LOVE-YOU but the big question is this,
do you act on those words, or are they empty?
Do you make a conscious decision to do what's best for
the other person, your spouse? your child? a friend?
or is it more about what's best for you?
I'll be the first to admit....
I'm guilty, and It's something I have to always be working on in my relationships.
When you say, "I love you"
you are making a promise to someone else's heart...
honor those 3 little words with actions to prove it
Love is not only an emotion....Love is a verb.
TEN WAYS TO LOVE

I have put an "asterisk" by the ones that I have been focusing on.
How about you.... any of these strike a chord in our life?
This is such a good, no, I mean great, reminder of the meaning of love.
