I once knew a woman . . . she asked her son to shine her shoes
She put a quarter in each one . . . cause she thought that
was his due
But he returned the money . . . and when she asked him why
that was
He said, “Mom, I’m old enough to know by now . . .
You just do some things . . . for love”
song lyrics “You Give it All Your Heart” by Bill Mallonee
"All sorts of people are fond of repeating the Christian statement that “God is love.” But they seem not to notice that the words “God is love” have no real meaning unless God contains at least two Persons. Love is something that one person has for another person. If God was a single person, then before the world was made, He was not love. [Christians] believe that the living, dynamic activity of love has been going on in God forever and has created everything else."
C.S. Lewis
