The words of the Paul as written in his letter to the Galatians…

“You, my brothers, were called to be free.  But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature, rather, serve one another in love.  The entire law is summed up in a single command:  “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Love And Family

“Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
