It痴 February, and hearts and flowers are sprouting in store windows all over town. It was mid-January when I saw the first heart-patterned party supplies in our local warehouse grocery store. This is the month to tell our loved ones that we care.
Valentines and Thanksgiving are holidays that are easy to enjoy--thinking about and appreciating God and that special person who is closest to us.
This year I happen to be writing a book on Love. Not that I知 an expert. I知 not sure that anybody is. It痴 just that, to me, love is the most basic principle of life. If we could only learn to love God and other people and ourselves in a wholesome way, our world, our country, our churches, our families would be better. And there would be a lot less pain around.
This month, we値l be looking at some Famous Lovers in history and literature. We値l look at Love in Scripture, comparing and contrasting it with our popular concept of love today. Then I値l introduce you to Bill and Ruby Green, a couple who taught Frank and me a lot about married love and set a good example for our 43-year marriage.
I hope we値l all be inspired to love the special people in our lives more--and better.
