Inspiration

I am patient with you because I love you and want to forgive you.
I am kind to you because I love you and want to help you.
I do not envy your possessions or your gifts because I love you and want you to have the best.
I do not boast about my attainments because I love you and want to hear about yours.
I am not proud because I love you and want to esteem you before myself.
I am not rude because I love you and care about your feelings.
I am not self-seeking because I love you and want to meet your needs.
I am not easily angered by you because I love you and want to overlook your offenses.
I do not keep a record of your wrongs because I love you, and ‘love covers a multitude of sins.’

I found this on Miss Josie's blog.  Made an impression on me.  I think I need to post it somewhere I'll see it every day.  With that kind of inspiration, maybe she needs to post more often?
