Life on Agape Trail

LOVE

If I live in a house of spotless beauty
with everything in it's place
but have not love
I am a housekeeper, not a homemaker.

If I have time for waxing, polishing
and decorative achievements
but have not love
My children learn of cleanliness not godliness.

Love leaves the dust
in search of a child's laugh.

Love smiles at tiny fingerprints
on a newly cleaned window.

Love wipes away the tears
before it wipes up the spilled milk.

Love picks up the child
before it picks up the toys.

Love is present through trials.

Love reprimands, reproves, and is responsive.

As a mother,there is much I must teach my child
but the greatest of these is love.
