Acts of love

"I love you."  The words come easy. People say them all the time.

Given too easily and taken back again and again, these words can leave their object thinking they are as common as the snowflakes that fall from the skies. . . and just as likely to melt away.

But everyone should hear them said the way they were meant to be.  Nothing could be sweeter,  more beautiful, more enlightening.

They warm hearts that were formerly frozen.  They raise spirits so high that the body walks on air.  They bring light into the darkest places.

The acts of love are simple ones: caring, simple caring --  really caring.
