Your Question:

What seeds of love need nurturing in our daily routines?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband of 19 years, I've come to realize that love is a responsibility that needs to be practiced daily. It's not just a feeling that comes and goes, but a choice we make to prioritize and nurture our relationships. For my wife Susan and me, this means making time for each other, even in the midst of busy schedules. Whether it's a romantic dinner or a simple gesture of affection, we strive to demonstrate our love and care for one another.

I believe that love needs to be cultivated and nurtured in our daily routines. This means being intentional about showing affection and interest in each other's lives. As the Scripture says, love is a choice and a way of life. It's not just about feelings, but about actions that demonstrate our commitment to one another. For Susan and me, this means being warm, tender, and compassionate towards each other, even when life gets tough. We remind each other to affectionately touch one another in some way, to break through any hardheadedness that refuses to change and grow.

As I reflect on my own marriage and family, I realize that love is not just about romantic feelings, but about sacrificial love that flows from a consistently loving attitude. This means being willing to put others' needs before our own, to listen actively, and to show empathy and understanding. For me, this means being a good father to Joshua and Rebecca, and a loving husband to Susan. By prioritizing love and making it a daily choice, we can create a more loving and supportive environment in our homes and communities.
