20 April 2021 – Gratitude. Today all I could think about was the people in my life. I wonder if those I love know that I love them and why I love them. I won’t let it go another day. I will make sure they know how much I love them. I will make moments.

I know that I don’t show or tell my friends and family how I feel often enough. I wasted so many opportunities to demonstrate my feelings. How many moments have I missed, how many times didn’t I say it?

How many more moments will I miss? Faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13.) Do I demonstrate that?

What love should be like:

1 Corinthians 13:4-13 New International Version

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
