Great post. I like the way you break down how love is shown in many different circumstances
Great post Lynn - how inspiring! This is one of my favorite extra-Biblical quotes on love: "And love in the heart wasn't put there to say; Love isn't love 'till you give it away." -Oscar Hammerstein II
Love is indeed an "action word" - showing forth the Father's attributes to a hurting world...
