"What does love even look like?"

"What does love even look like?"

I was recently asked this question 

by a frustrated friend.

We talked about it for a while

and finally summarized that

while their are some commonalities,

love looks different for each person

and the most successful love stories

are those where the "look" is most similar

for those involved.

Yesterday, I was not feeling well.

Ginger ale and saltines were the order of the day.

These are not things we keep in our gluten-free,

mostly sugar-free home 

so my sweet hubby ran to the store.

This is not a quick trip for the most part.

We live six miles outside of town.

So it takes some thoughtful effort to make a "quick" trip,

some sacrifice if one is doing something else and didn't plan to get out.

He came home with saltines, ginger ale (my favorite brand of both)

and roses.

So here's a picture of what love looks like for me.

It looks like thoughtfulness, effort, sacrifice, "knowing", and caring.....

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
