Bob Russell, retired Senior Minister of Southeast Christian
Church in Louisville, Kentucky, posted a thought on "love's finest
moments" each day on his Facebook page in the week leading up to Valentine's
Day. These are just too good not to
share.
·
When you don’t feel like being patient,
thoughtful, generous, and kind, yet do it anyway.
·
When you forgive a hurtful offense because the
future relationship matters more than your present pain.
·
When you overlook the 2% that irritates you
because you so appreciate the 98% that inspires you.
·
When you give sacrificially of self without
expecting favored treatment or any reciprocation.
·
When, after decades of familiarity, you still
treat the other with respect, tenderness & admiration.
·
When you sacrifice time, money & energy for
another’s good, knowing they will probably never discover it.
·
When you set aside an immediate interest and
listen patiently, even though it doesn’t seem to really matter
·
When
you're so comfortable together that you can sit in silence without feeling
awkward or bored. You are just content.
