"What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like."~~Saint Augustine~~
~*~
Whenever I try to remember what love looks like
the above quote speaks to my Spirit ,and I get a
jolt of adrenalin as if lightning struck, which makes
me want to do something grand for someone
Then I also remember that grand gestures are
usually the least needed to express love, it is
the simple smile, hug, offer of help,a few dollars
when needed,picking up something at the store
cooking a meal, or just being there for someone
etc the list is long for all the simple ways we can show love
That's what makes it so mystifying when some
get so engrossed in looking for just the right extravagant gift, or words,that they give up
what's real, and miss showing it altogether

Beautiful write, beautiful quote and a charming picture.
You're right of course but sometimes one loves and wishes someone the best without being able to help. Then we pray. Best wishes...Joyce

Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means. ~Leo Buscaglia

It truly is, and both you and St. Augustine have said it so very well.
