The Beatles said "all you need is love." I love that song. But while it is sorta kinda true it is also not. For example, we need air, food, shelter, safety. (Maslow anyone?) But yes, the most important thing is love. I've been thinking about love lately as I have been reviewing my career options and choices. The ONE thing I want my life to be about is LOVE. I want to live my life in a way that when I die folks agree that love was the main thing for me.
Now, when I say love I'm not talking about feelings or some sweet romance (although that is good too ;). Rather, I'm talking about action. I want to behave with love.
So I'm asking myself how can I act loving today?
How can you?

I think we can act love out on a regular basis by doing it in spite of how we feel. I learned a long time ago that it's easier to act your way into a feeling than feel your way into an action.
Good stuff, Joylene.
The one way that I think about loving is that Jesus loves the unloveable. So therefore if I am to be a picture of Jesus I need to love the unloveable also. I am thinking of those kids in the classroom who get under your skin on a moment, hourly, daily basis. I have to pray that I will show love to everyone EVERYDAY on the way to work. Love MOM
This is such a truly beautiful thought!
I'm not doing too good at that one right now. I'm praying about it though:).
thanks so much for your comments folks. It is much appreciated. :)
