Unexpected Lilies: I thought the season was lost to a late freeze. A few days ago I saw the first buds. They called me outside today.
The lilies are unexpected. We had late freeze close to the time they begin their growth spurt.
Defining Love
Love: definition
1. As an Emotion — At its core, love is a deep connection and emotional bond characterized by intimacy, passion, and commitment. It encompasses feelings of deep caring, empathy, and joy. (Britannia)
2. As an Action or Choice — Many philosophers and psychologists emphasize that love is not just a passive feeling but an active, conscious choice. It involves actively willing the good of another person and making daily commitments to support their well-being, even when it requires personal sacrifice. (Choose Love Movement)
Neither description feels like the whole Truth. Love worships and adores. What we Love is always on our mind. Love is what makes us want nothing more than to Give Back and Pay Forward.
John 13:35 NIV
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
