many ways to love...per the Bible

 

FIVE WAYS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER PER THE BIBLE:

1. LISTEN without interrupting (how often do we have our own rebuttal planned when we should be listening fully?)
2. SPEAK without accusing ( harder to do than said!)
3. GIVE without sparing ( how many times have you hoarded away just a bit for yourself? Give fully!)
4. PRAY without ceasing ( God needs to be boinked on the head, too! Plus it teaches us patience.)
5. ANSWER without arguing ( "But....but...but..." instead just be humble for once and reply, "you're right." and mean it!)

♥ FIVE MORE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER PER THE BIBLE:

6. SHARE without pretending ( that proverbial pat on the head while the knife goes into the back of another...forget about it! Give and share with full meaning in your heart.)
7. ENJOY without complaining ( How often do you go someplace with someone, only to look at your watch and grumble, "I could have been doing this" instead? Begin today to live in the moment, think about what you might be missing otherwise!)
8. TRUST without wavering (Trust is a hard one to do when all your life others have used you, hurt you, yet trust some more.)
9. FORGIVE without punishing (don't hold that grudge...and do NOT ever bring up the injury again at a later date. Forgive---then LET GO!!!)
10. PROMISE without forgetting ("I'll be here for you..." then when that time comes...where are you? If you said it...mean it--then DO it!)
