As Christians, God has commanded us to love one another (John 13:34). The famous "love" chapter in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13....and since the Bible also tells us in 1 John 4:8 that God is love therefore we can know for certain that:
(God) is patient, (God) is kind. (God) does not envy, (God) does not boast, (God) is not proud. (God) is not rude, (God) is not self-seeking, (God) is not easily angered, (God) keeps no record of wrongs. (God) does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. (God) always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (God) never fails.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's fun to consider ways to bless others. One tradition that we have enjoyed is giving each other "heart attacks"... pasting hearts onto each child's bedroom door to let them know how special we think they are. It's a fun way to share our love for each other.
