Love is. . .
- nail scarred hands and a cross on a hill called Calvary.
- living a life of gratitude and obedience to God for all that He means to us.
- For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.
- a husband & father who after working hard, comes home, sees his family’s need and takes the initiative to fulfill it.
- a wife and mother who selflessly cares for her family.
- the toothless smile on a baby’s face when she sees her daddy.
- a handful of daisies picked for a mommy by a little boy with dirt smudged cheeks.
- unconditional support and encouragement from mom and dad.
- cookies baked with care from grandma.
- a fishing trip with grandpa.
- brothers and sisters walking hand-in-hand.
- friends who lift you up in prayer.
