What is Love Drawing

As we approach Valentine's Day this year, I find myself thinking beyond the chocolate and shiny red hearts that are shoved in my face every time I set foot in a store. Instead I'm pondering the question, what is love, really? Is it buying the biggest box of assorted chocolates you can find, or a dozen perfect red roses? Is it baking your loved ones their favorite batch of homemade cookies? How about giving your favorite aunt a surprise call from across the miles? Or calling your mom just to say, I love you.

The bible tells us, love is patient, love is kind (1 Corinthians 13:4) It also reminds us of some things that love is not: love is not easily angered, or thinking of evil (1 Corinthians 13:5) There are so many things we can add to this list: love is caring, supportive, faithful, and so on.

Please limit your comments to 5 words or less of what love means to you (or does not mean, such as revengeful, lying, etc.) And have a loving, wonderful Valentine's Day!
