Love, love. love

Still incredulous that it is February once again. Time just seems to go by so quickly these days...

Anyway, while I of course appreciate chocolate and gifts, I'm not the hugest fan of Valentine's Day because I think too much pressure is put on that one day. Shouldn't we express our love for our partners and family and friends with thoughtful gestures everyday?

While we're on the subject, I have been thinking about one of my favorite passages in the Bible -- Paul's definition of what love is:

“Love is patient, love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs."
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

A lot of this is easier said than done, but it is a great reminder of the standards we should try to achieve. And February is as good a month as any to start trying ;-)
