Yes, happiness is a warm puppy, and, love is, hmm, love, but what about unselfishness, speaking but of course to a singles crowd, I don't care what you throw out there. Just say it in love and happiness :)

Unselfishness is______ _______ _______ _______.'

Unselfishness is going with your girlfriend shoe shopping when you want to be playing Halo 3 with the boys.

________()_________
Please, keep in mind, there is a difference between what 'love is ____' and what 'happiness is _____.' THIS THREAD is about what 'Unselfishness is __________.'


And, by all means, put your statement into a biblical phrase, if you want . Try to keep it to one good phrase, so, get to thinking. Graphics are welcome, we all know a picture can tell a thousand words :D

unselfishness is kindly reminding someone that your needs are more important than theirs.

Unselfishness is letting someone else change the cds or the radio stations in your car.

For the record, I don't like warm puppies. Or cold puppies.

Sometimes selfless acts can appear selfish to others.

Judgmental attitudes stink (I'm not picking on anyone here, just talking in general).

Things aren't always as they seem.

Would that be like when I am at work and when certain people go out to smoke I help them keep their work up and when they come back they assume I didn't think they could do their job and that's why I helped?

They realize now of course that it was me being helpful, but that used to be how it was.

This:

Phil 2:3 - Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Ephesians 5:21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
