The Love Chapter and a Little Boy

        I really dislike not having a computer to type on but I'll get over that. I'm going to take you on a journey of love. My next 3 or 4 enteries will be mainly about love. This one is where the thought all started about love and looking deeper into it. It is about a little boy from work and loving him.
        There are times and moments where I really need to have patience and a lot of it with this little boy at work. Strangely enough, though I didn't know I was really loving him and that I could have done a little better at it. One night after a hard time with him I came home. Well, really it was the next day during my devo time with God, that God asked me how I was loving this boy and if I really was. I remember looking at one of my all time favorite chapters of the Bible and that was the Love Chapter.
           As I was reading it, I remember thinking to myself am I really loving that boy that way or could I do better? Am I really loving him with patience and kindness? Am I really keeping no records of wrongs? Do I really hope he can make it and do I give up on Him some days? The answer to all those questions were "yes" sadly. So the next day I kept repeating that chapter in my mind and it seemed to make the day a little easier. The little boy seemed so much calmer. Maybe it was because I was calm too and not so uptight about everything. I just remember thinking during that next day "am I loving him like I should? "
           Sometimes we get so caught up in the days or months that we just want to get through them. I realized with my job you can't just get through them. You have to watch how you love and how you are building a relationship with each child. It does take a lot of time and energy but it's worth it to see the changes in them. See how much of a blessing they can be to you after all your hard work.
            God shows us how do love anyone and anybody in that one chapter. We can take that chapter to mean many different things and that is what I'm going to do in the next enteries. I think that chapter and the story of Him dieing on the cross is the two most important stories and examples of Love in my book.
          Love is more then a feeling. It is a life process because everyone needs to be loved in a different way at different times in their lives. We just have to stop and understand that way and do it if we really do love them.
