When we learn to create love in our hearts and choose to silently share it with everyone we come in contact with (either in person, or online), our lives begin to be graced with goodness in every aspect of our lives.

How do you show love?

Sometimes just by paying attention to what a person says and remembering things that are important to them.

By applying to others the same patient mercy that God has always shown me, even (especially) when I least deserved it. I try to live that mercy out concretely in my daily encounters by looking beneath the surface of people's words & actions and allow myself to hear the history, anxiety, mangled thinking and woundedness that lies behind their anger, intolerance, rudeness and grouchy moods. It doesn't always work, but it always reminds me to pray for the other person and for my own growth in learning how to love and forgive.

Honestly..I try and treat others, just the way I would like to be treated, without expecting anything in return.

Have found by reading the scriptures daily, I'm shown how to shine that love more brightly.

Not so much by words, I'm sort of like Moses in that regard....but actions.

By trying to understand them, by not judging, by encouraging in any possible way, by not returning a rude remark, etc.

Thank you. You're all such beautiful women. I just love being here with you.

Being in the Word really helps. How can we know what Jesus would do if we don't read about His time spent on earth.

Song, you mention not returning a rude remark. That's so important.

I recently read 30 Days To Taming Your Tongue. I know I've mentioned that before, but it's sucha good book. It alerts you to your reasoning for speaking. Very good.

I am still a tit for tat kinda girl and thats a bad thing. I don't care or react when someone challenges me BUT get extremely protective when they challenge my friends or family. Dotsie I need to get that book...need to learn to let others react to their own challengers or not as they see fit...I need to learn to stay out of it.

Every word above is true..... but i dont like love. It is a double edged sword .... tonight one of my daughters, was quietly crying, and i understood why, but i could not heal her heart .. i know it will heal with time.... but i also know time will bring other hurts.... yesterday, my brother was halting in his speech, because he was having trouble breathing, and i could not help him...over and over, the more people we come to cherish, the more we see their hurts... yes we do every thing we can to make differences, yes, we ask in our prayers .... but it would be easier, so much easier not to love ..... for how can we love someone, and not also be heartbroken when their hearts are broken, when they grieve how can we not also grieve ... how can we not cry inside for them when we see them struggling to hang on ? I'm sorry, these are not good words to say about love, but, please let me say them anyway .... i think you each know what i mean....
