Monday Meme: Love Begins at HOME

What is THE most important lesson to learn in life? The Golden Rule? Redemption? The two Great Commandments? Don’t kill the little one who left the Lego out for our little toes to find? Well, they all have one thing in common! Love. So simply put: love. In English, we love everything. We love our coffee. We love our kids. We love not having to clean or do laundry. However, we clean or do laundry because we love. We love our family so they have a clean home or clean clothes. We love our coffee so we can clean and do laundry… because we love our family. No matter how you phrase it or reason it, love is our motivator. Love is a decision. Love is WHY we do what we do, especially if we don’t love what we actually are doing. Sometimes, recognizing that difference can help us finish those mundane tasks with a smile. St. Therese of Lisieux articulated it best: “Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.” Story of a Soul, Chapter VIII
