I wasn't planning on posting today, but then I read this. In a day when much of the entertainment media and the public are focused on "getting some," it was really nice to be reminded that love is more about giving and bearing burdens. Can you substitute your name in all these blanks where the word "love" once appeared:
________ is patient.
________ is kind.
________ does not envy.
________ does not boast.
________ is not proud.
________ is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs.
________ does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth.
________ always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
________ never fails.
She was being the Valentine.

This reminds me of my eldest daugher's wedding in 1993 - I reflected at the time that I could substitute her name in every line.
