Love Dare Day 3- Love Is Not Selfish


Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor." Romans 12.10 Todays Dare: Whatever you put your time, energy, and money into will become more important to you. It's hard to care for something that you are not investing in. Along with restraining from negative comments, buy your spouse something that says, "I was thinking of you today." Today, I did not say one unkind word to my lovebug. I did not buy him anything, but I gave him a gift from my heart. I wrote him a poem. He really loved it, his reaction made me cry. I will share the poem with you. The title is: An Answer To A Prayer-- Are you aware that you are an answer to my prayer? I prayed for love, and God sent you to me. You are love defined, a rare and precious find. Our hearts will forever be entwined, nothing will ever be able to untangle them. Thanks for hearing my hearts prayer, and answering, by giving me your eternal love. Prayer: Dear Lord, love is such a beautiful gift of the heart. Thank You for blessing my life with the precious gift of Eddie, I am forever grateful. Please continue to watch closely over my marriage. I love You Lord. Amen
