Today I'm going to help my cousin paint her new apartment. Its bittersweet. I'm thankful that she got a job but sad that she'll only be home every other weekend. Over the past few months we've grown close and its been such a blessing.
Anyway, today's thought on love... I've said before love is a verb and we need to show those around us that we love them through our actions. My schedule today made me think about that statement and take it one step further. Love is more than just a verb; it is service. Love is serving other people. Love is being like Jesus, humbling yourself, thinking of others needs before your own needs, and reaching out to meet other people's needs. This "service brand" of love comes in all different styles. For me, it is painting, for others it may be giving a friend a hug, or offering a ride to someone.
Serve others today!
1 Peter 4:8-10
