“Love
begins at home, and it is not how much we do…
but how much love we put in that
action.”
–Mother Teresa

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
I Corinthians 13:4-7

Great list. Love is an action word. Words alone do not mean much without the actions, time and effort behind them. Love #18 and 19.
