This verse is usually associated with weddings and anniversaries, but I think is should be broader than that. I think we show acts of love and kindness everyday to our family, friends, co-workers, and sometimes even strangers. My friend Amy made these and brought them in to work one afternoon, just because she felt like sharing.
I thought the lines of them, all perfect with their little frosting hats was too good to pass up photographing
(in fact, I told the people they had to wait until I got in a few shots).
I don't think God meant love to become this big grand gesture that marketing and jewelry and candy companies want to define. I think he meant that even on regular days or bad days, patience is love. Sometimes just a kind call or text, maybe helping an older person tie their shoe, or listening to a child tell you a story, ordinary kindness is love.
So as we head into spring and new growth and new beginnings, maybe we add on a little more love in simple ways.

They look delicious! You're right - the world needs more everyday kindness and compassion.
Good advice, great post. I think it is the simple things that we do for others every day that makes the most difference.
Amen...Love wins every time!!!

Thanks for this wonderful post and reminder, MarieElizabeth! What you write is so true.
The cupcakes look so yummy, and make a great photo! Unfortunately they are not on my diet at the moment.....
I agree...tho sometimes these days it becomes a lost 'art'...kindness, people need kindness in their hearts to receive kindness from others.
Oh, and I must say, I LOVE your 'lunch time' post below this also.
