Love is patient, love is kind; it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7, NIV)
Love is the joy of a newborn baby, cuddly and warm in your arms. It is watching your children grow and learn and play, and developing relationships and friendships that will remain with them throughout their lifetime. Love is teaching your children how to read and write, how to cook and do laundry, and how to handle responsibilities. Love is teaching your children the truths from the Bible--truths about God's love.
Love gives you the strength to watch your children go off to school, to college, to their first job, and starting families of their own. Love gives you the courage to let go and let them grow, believing that you have done your best to give them the skills and foundation to help them through life.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6, KJV)
