100 Words on Love, by Thomas Fiffer
–
Love is patient, love is kind. If you want to know what love is, start here.
Patience is not an act of forbearance but a practice of forbearing, of understanding, not judging, and forgiving. A practice of respecting your loved one’s limitations and admitting your own.
Kindness is not an act of generosity or sacrifice but a consistent way of being, an attitude of humility and gratitude that informs every gesture and makes every act a blessing.
Love is patient, love is kind. If love was only these two things, it would be enough. But love is so much more.
