1 Corinthians 13

Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part,but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

My little shadow

My little shadow, fluffy butt aka Akane, the family kitty. I have been dealing with a cold this last week and she has been determined to get me to stay in bed so she can curl up and sleep on my hip, well she thinks that is her spot. She kneads my hip, which reminds me, she needs her nails trimmed again, ouch!

She is a real chatter box, she fusses if we are not up at her time frame for breakfast every day or if the neighbor kitty is in her window, we hear about it. Right now she is in the hallway meowing to me, she wants to either play or go to bed, but until I get up from this chair I am going to hear about her displeasure. She is even working on getting my husband to bend to her wants and needs, she is beyond spoiled, well we think she is...lol.

It's been a long week, work-school- final's in a week-struggling to get final projects completed. I am so looking forward to the year sabatical, I need it before entering the Master's Program.

Well, I am off to get some rest and hopefully this cold gives up..tired of couphing.....
