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.
Helen Keller
