If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements, but have not love, my children learn cleanliness--not godliness.
Love leaves the dust in search of a child's laugh.
Love smiles at the 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 the trials.
Love reprimands, reproves, and is responsive. Love crawls with the baby
Walks with the toddler Runs with the child
Then stands aside to let the youth walk into adulthood.
Love is the key that opens Salvation's message to a child's heart

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.
