If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind,it does not boast it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking. Love never fails. When I became a man I put my childish ways behind me and through the years of imperfections, greediness, thoughtlessness and ill fated temptations Now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known, these three things remain, faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.[1Corinthians 11-2:13]
My days of transforming into adulthood went by quickly, the selfish little child existed no more. The child had been replaced by a woman of peace and acts of kindness, but the one thing I had grown to stress to my children just as my mother had taught me, the greatest gift we can give to one another is the gift of love. This I found to be of utter importance for the way our lives function during our stay in this earthly world of evil temptations and unrelentless tugging at our spiritual bodies in hopes of turning us away from Christ I discovered even from early childhood that my acts of selfishness got me nothing but loneliness, Nobody wanted to play with me;however if instead I was kind and loving, if I shared and spoke words of kindness I learned I would have a lot more friends. I found this out not of my own accord but through the loving guidance of my mother who was the one who taught me that love truly is the foundation to happiness.I am so grateful to God for giving me such a loving Mother.She was the foundation, the stepping stone, that walk my sister and I through the days of childhood, teaching us the ways of life, she taught us to be kind and considerate of others feelings. She taught us to give to those in need, to be a good friend, one with. a listening ear and a kind heart, but with all the wonderful things Mother taught us growing up the greatest gift was she taught my sister and I that Love is the true foundation to happiness. She taught us that God is Love, and with that love all things are possible and that there is no greater gift than the gift of Love. God is the light, he is the way, he is the leader, so with our faith and our hope bound together with the Love of God we can make this world a better place. Let us pray.
Dear Lord, thank you for this day, thank you for the many new friends I have been blessed with on face book. Lord I ask for a network of people to be brought into my life and you answered. I thank you Lord. Please bless this day Lord and help us through the power of your Love to spread the word of scripture throughout the world. In this we ask in the name of The Father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.....
