Love Does...

I recently was listening to Joey and Rory, a couple from TN whose music is maybe not to everyone's taste, but I heard this song awhile ago, and have been kind of following their story ever since.

That's Important to Me

Joey and Rory

They introduced me to this book:

Love Does

by Bob Goff

It's been a great read so far.

We often talk about love.

But how much do we really love?

How many of those walls that hold us back 

do we let down and let people really see

the love that Jesus gives?

I want to do a series of posts

titled 

"Love Does".

Mostly I will share pictures to show you

what love does...

Love takes the time

in the busyness

of farming,

to grind mulch hay

and spread it

over the garden

for the wife.

Yes.

Love does.

Sometimes it means

inconvenience.

Well, often it means that.

Because we all 

have our ideas of how

we will spend our days.

But love "does".

It begins in a heart

that has accepted the

love of Jesus

that is freely given.

It grows in the heart

that has purposed to

do life God's way.

I can't think of a better

person to write about

as I begin this

series.

My Farmer is

truly an unselfish, loyal

and kind man.

He takes the time out of his busy days

to answer a call from me when I

am feeling overwhelmed with schooling

'the boy', 

or when I need a lightbulb changed 

or salt added to the water softener,

and when I cried a few weeks ago 

(literally)

 that we miss him so much

since the busy farming season has kept him 

busy from morning til night,

he cleared his schedule and 

went on a few outings with us.

Love does.

And I am blessed to receive that love,

purposing also to give that love

as freely as I have received it.

"This is my commandment,

that you love one another,

as I have loved you."

~Jesus
