4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Today is an easy take. It makes me remember my wedding. Its a great reminder. But, where I want to take it today is in the context of the holiday season. I think this time of year, people really need extra love and grace. Its busy and nutty and stressful and people feel out of control. I think we as believers/followers are called to have a different auro about us during the season. We need to be celebratory for the gift that was/is given to us, but we also need to be patient, kind....even non self-seeking.

forgot to say I would be out last week in Brazil. Good take, I completely agree as believers we need to live out this message. The message even says if you have certain gifts if I am missing love my sound will be a clang. People especially need love during the Christmas season.
