Thirty More Days!

This brings me to #3689: He would die for me. I was thinking about this after yesterday's reading and this beautiful, recent story about a Canadian man who saved his wife and unborn child's lives by his split-second decision to steer them away from an oncoming vehicle. He died. They lived.

The fiancé shows me in small ways every day that he will sacrifice for me. He immediately takes action if something seems wrong. He never hesitates. I appreciate that so much about him. I don't even have to ask him, I know that he's willing to die for me if it came to that. He is a good, good man. I can't wait to marry him!

Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts.

But I shall show you a still more excellent way.

If I speak in human and angelic tongues

but do not have love,

I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.

And if I have the gift of prophecy

and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge;

if I have all faith so as to move mountains,

but do not have love, I am nothing.

If I give away everything I own,

and if I hand my body over so that I may boast

but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind.

It is not jealous, love is not pompous,

it is not inflated, it is not rude,

it does not seek its own interests,

it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,

it does not rejoice over wrongdoing

but rejoices with the truth.

It bears all things, believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.

-1 Corinthians 12-13
