If my child asked me, “Mommy, how do I find true love?” This is what I would say: “Love is an attitude of your mind and heart. Love is not dependent on appearance, physical strength or romantic ambiance”.
“Your dad did not arrange romantic dinners or a second honeymoon. He did not bring me flowers. What he did was to repair my car and ensure that the tank was filled so I would not be stranded. He cleaned the carpet when grandma was scheduled to come, not because he cared about clean carpet, but because he knew I cared. Even though your dad did not like pets, when our cat died, he buried it for me. He comforted me when I cried and encouraged me to adopt kittens. So, remember, true love – continuous kindness – may come disguised, and often goes unnoticed.”
Love is not only shown by giving something expensive or something spectacular. Often, love is shown through continuous concern and the attitude of selfless serving. Let our family life be filled with care and service to one another, so that love will continue growing in our families.
Prayer: Lord, teach us to be more sensitive to see the needs of our spouses and children. Give us the desire to serve and do the best for our families. Amen.
and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
- Colossians 3:14 ASV
