Love

Something I read today that I liked:

"Love is eye contact and a smile with a stranger, because they're important too.  It's looking into the eyes of a screaming child and holding to an important "no" when a "yes" would be so much easier.  It's holding a friend and praying through tears of grief.  It's a late night couch conversation with an overworked spouse when you'd rather be asleep.  It's giving until it hurts.  It's making the hard choice to love in the face of hate."

This is not the kind of love that Hollywood sells.  It's mature and costs us something.  It is work and it is worth it.
