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

1 Corinthians 13:4-8


Most of us take life for granted. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, or not being conscious of health until we are ill. But I who am blind can give one hint to those who see: use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken bind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses: hear the music of the voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel as if tomorrow you would never smell or taste again. Make the most of every sense, glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals. Thus, at last, you will really see, and a new world of beauty will open up before you.
