One Month to Love!
This was an awesome book, check out my review and I wanted to share with y’all the “important” parts to me. This is by far not what the whole book is about, but just a glimpse of what I thought was catching, or needed to be shared. I will be going through each day, as this will be sorta like my “journal”.
There are 4 weeks involved:
Week 1: The Art of Being All There
Week 2: The Art of Acting Intentionally
Week 3: The Art of Risking Awkwardness
Week 4: The Art of Letting Go
Day 11 of Week 2: Action Adventure
We can do no great things, only small things with great love. ~Mother Teresa
We love because it’s the only true adventure. ~Nikki Giovanni
1 Corinthians 13:4-6 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth
Focus your energy and create some adventures.
I challenge you to start putting the same amount of energy and creativity into your marriage and parenting as you give your work.
You be the blessing.
If you want to connect with your teenagers, you have to look for ways to step into their world.
A life of Love!
