Yesterday we sat in on a Sunday School class for the 2nd time\u00c2\u00a0 – they are going over thru the Fireproof workbook\/Love Dare stuff.\u00c2\u00a0 So yesterday afternoon we were probably the last people in America to finally watch Fireproof.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a great movie with lots of reminders of how we should be serving one another in our marriage, not just looking out for what we want\/need.<\/p>\n

In fact, I decided that Love will be our focus of our homeschool for awhile too.\u00c2\u00a0 The boys and I will be picking apart I Corinthians 13 each day.\u00c2\u00a0 I have asked Eric and J1 to discuss on their way to and from school too.\u00c2\u00a0 (J1 is still doing his homeschool work at school with Dad.\u00c2\u00a0 This is still a situation that needs prayer – esp as we try to figure out what to do next year.)<\/p>\n

I love this passage…in fact, it was on bookmarks that we gave out as favors at our wedding (22 years this Saturday!).<\/p>\n

Love is patient, love is kind {and} is not jealous; love does not brag {and} is not arrogant,
\ndoes not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong {suffered,}
\ndoes not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
\nbears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
\nLove never fails; but if {there are gifts of} prophecy, they will be done away; if {there are} tongues, they will cease; if {there is} knowledge, it will be done away.
\nFor we know in part and we prophesy in part;
\nbut when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.
\nWhen I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
\nFor now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
\nBut now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.<\/p>\n
