Day 35 Grateful for the Choice to Love

Day 35 of a Grateful Heart..I am grateful for the choice to LOVE (sappy alert haha). But in all seriousness, I used to think love was based on a feeling, when in reality, its a behavior..it's what we do. I remember my Pop, telling me at a very young age, that actions speak louder then words. As I get older, I realize loving people is being kind, quite simply. Its knowing we all have a battle within, so you smile, help out, and "do" what you need to let someone know they are special.

Its taking less "selfies" and more "us-ies", checking on a neighbor, calling a friend, dropping a love note to your significant other, making breakfast when you really feel like going back to bed. Today I choose to love.

"Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions” (1 John 3:18 NLT).
