| LOVE IS patient - even when milk is spilled for the third timein one day. | Love is not easily angered - even if he did forget your anniversary. |
| Love is kind - and never says what we deserve to hear | Love Keeps no record of Wrongs and never says 'I told you so!' |
| Love does not envy - when he sleeps and you're up all nightwith sick children. | Love does not delight in evil - but rejoices in the truth. |
| Love does not boast - even when you've lost five pounds and she hasn't. | Love always protects the innocent until proven guilty. |
| Love is not proud - but is willing to be the first to say 'I'm sorry'. | Love always trusts - and expects the best of others. |
| Love is not rude - but speaks to family members as courteously as to guests. | Love always hopes - to reconcile differences. |
| Love is not self-seeking - even if it IS your turn to choose | Love perseveres - in accepting family members AS THEY ARE, not as you want them to be. |
| Love never fails to make a strong and loving family. |
