and new life will flow into you---share and share alike.

Don’t lose a minute in building on
what you’ve been given, complementing your
basic faith and good character,
spiritual understanding, alert discipline,
passionate patience, reverent wonder,
warm friendliness, and generous love,
each dimension fitting into
and developing the others.
~ 2 Peter 1:5 MSG ~
Love is extravagant in the price it is willing to pay,
the time it is willing to give, the hardships it is willing to endure,
and the strength it is willing to spend.
Love never thinks in terms of “how little,”
but always in terms of “how much.”
Love gives, love knows, and love lasts.
~ Joni Eareckson Tada ~
