Our Love Tree

Last week I took a large piece of newsprint and drew a happy little tree on it and hung it on our apartment door. I decided to create "our love tree." With Valentine's Day approaching (my favorite holiday ever!) I decided that it would be nice to remember all of the people we love, and to be thankful for the people who love us. I cut out more than 51 pink hearts and wrote more than 75 different names on them and placed them on the tree.

What a neat reminder of how much we are cared about, and how much we care and love others. There is a lesson in that tree, more than how many people we know, but that each person is special. Some are harder to love than others, and some need more tender loving care than the rest; but all together they are branches, and branches of God's children.

Above the tree is a piece of paper with a beautiful scripture:

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous;

love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly;

it does not seek it's own, is not provoked,

does not take into account a wrong suffered,

does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

We send our love to all of you each and every day!
