# 23 Love

To love a child is one of the greatest gifts one can give. Our gran-daughter Jade had her 1/2 birthday this last week.  What a joy she is! Happy and healthy with parents that work together. She has a bright future!

 I don't remember my kids growing that fast! What a blessing!

 I had no idea how much fun gran-children would be...

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

The Gift of Love

4 Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. 9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; 10 but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly,[b] but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. 13 And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
