TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE

 "Loving others always costs us something and requires effort. And you have to decide to do it on purpose. You can't wait for the feeling to motivate you." 
                                     
                              ~ Joyce Meyer

This quote reminds me of the expression "Love is a decision" which my husband and I first heard at a Marriage Encounter Weekend almost 40 years ago.

"A decision? How unromantic!" my 20 something self said, at first. I can't begin to tell you how many times over the years that expression has served me well. 

Of course, sometimes I forget. Or resist. But the peace and joy that comes from loving is always worth the effort.


Today, let's love on purpose. Beginning with ourselves. 
 

Love and hugs to you,
Charlene
