Things

Art Buchwald said that "[t]he best things in life aren't things". That saying always catches me. Sure, a rich boyfriend who wants to give me a big diamond ring would be nice. But a average income boyfriend who made me happy and gave me a piece of his heart would be even better.

I remind myself daily that that is what I want to teach my kids. Toys, books, the latest clothes are all nice things. But do you have love? Do you have kindness?

I'm gonna quote the Bible here, but don't be scared. This is my favorite verse:
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames but have not love, I gain nothing."
1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Do you have love?
