Love is a very important thing, from Jesus’ perspective. You can tell a lot about a person by what and how they love. I’m going to take Jesus’ advice and just love whatever is in front of me.

her meticulous planning, I would never see a vacation. So, it is to her 
credit that I actually go on any vacation. 

“Stop having vacations,” is something that I have had to retract at
least audibly. So I had to explain to her, “My dear, I didn't say stop 
having vacations, I meant to say stop hating vacations.” Then I flashed 
a smile in her direction. 

“That is much better,” she said with an infectious giggle. “You know how
much I really love these vacations.” 

One thing I have learned as a veteran husband is that if you love what
your wife loves your life will be wonderful. I really do not have to 
love what she loves, but if I love her, it does not matter what she 
loves. 

Driving back from our vacation, which my wife did all the driving, I
said one thing that made the drive worth driving. “Don't we have 
wonderful grandchildren?” 

She is still smiling over that one. So am I. 

In the silence of our drive home, I began to think of what our Lord
said. “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse 
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which 
despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44). 

Love is a very important thing, from Jesus' perspective. You can tell a
lot about a person by what and how they love. I'm going to take Jesus' 
advice and just love whatever is in front of me.
