I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like what error said.
Love is tenderly rocking a sick crying baby all night long when you are exhausted.
Love is not caring that your kids are mad at you when you make them get up for church.
Love is being one of those kids who are mad at your folks for making you go to church, but knowing all the while why they do it.
Love is getting up several times a night to carry a dying parent to the bathroom knowing they really don't have to go.
Love is having to tell that same parent they are dying because they were too scared to go to the doc themselves for the results.
Love is throwing a Batman party for an adult sibling because it was his favorite thing to play with you when you were little and you know it will be his last birthday.
Love is holding onto the mother of an 11 year old child who has been torn apart by 3 cars with all of your might so she won't see it, crying/praying with her and rocking her in your arms until she is finally able to stand.
Love is doing without so others can have what they need.
Love is looking beyond what someone says to the point of their need.
Love is helping a repentant/reformed convicted person find a job.
Love is listening to the elderly even when they don't make sense and you think you have more important things to do.
Love is making every effort to help the family member most put at a distance feel special.
Love is buying a water purification system for a community in a third world country rather than that new tv or computer.
Love is giving a poor seminary student the bonus you'd intended for a vacation.
Love is being a dentist who works long hard days, but spends Saturdays treating poor children free of charge.
Love is performing legal services free of charge for servicemen/women headed into combat so their families will be cared for if something happens.
Love is being in your 90s and continuing to teach an adult Sunday School class to those who didn't get it when they were younger.
Love is what those angels we call neonatal nurses do everyday all day long that would bring most grown men to tears.
Love is what pastors do when they serve with all of their being those who criticize them behind their backs.
I've been thinking alot about what Nod said too. The very same man who wrote the amazingly wise/gentle chapter in Corinthians that everyone posts every time the subject of love comes up has been called harsh, arrogant and judgmental for things he said in other chapters of Corinthians. Love is not always tenderness, flowers and pats on the head. Love is also tough, enduring and bold.
