“10 ways to love: listen, speak, give, pray, answer, share, enjoy, trust, forgive, promise.” Will SmithStudents from a local high school joined me at the Assisted Living facility the Sunday after their Valentine’s Day dance – while the young men still had their tuxedos. They were excited to be part of a fashion show for the seniors...another opportunity to wear their formal clothes (and get community service hours doing something fun). The girls brought multiple dresses and the young men took turns escorting them down the ramp to the ‘ohs’ and ‘ahs’ of the seniors.
Do you have seniors in your life?...grandparents?...parents?...friends? Do you take the time to listen as a way of showing your love? How will you prioritize your activities the next time you’re with them? Lord, help me prioritize my busy to-do list at family events so I allow time to sit and talk with my aging relatives...but more than talk, help me love them with my listening. Amen “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” I Corinthians 13:4-8
