1 Cor 13:4-8 – Love is patient and kind.  Love is not jealous.  It does not brag, does not get puffed up. 5) does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interest, does not become provoked.  It does not keep account of the injury.  6) It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.  7) It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  8) Love never fails.

Special thanks to hospice care nurses, Celeste & Jessica.
