We live in a society that throws the word Love around a lot. We love food, coffee and naps. We love a certain band, artist or type of music. We love cold weather, camping, and running. Love is talked about in many aspects without addressing the real meaning of love. Kids can think that loving a certain baseball team is equivalent to loving mom and dad. I am not implying we need to stop saying we love certain things. I am just saying maybe we need to be more specific about the different kinds of love, and what better time to talk about love than February? Over the course of the first 14 days in February we are going to look at what the bible says about love and how we can incorporate these better in our families. We will be breaking down 1 Corinthians 13 verse by verse talking about how we can better display these qualities in ourselves, our families, and to the world.

Activity
- Make an envelope for each person in your house by writing their names on the front of the envelope.
- Get a stack of index cards and a pen
- Set these out where they will be visible for the days of this study.
- Each day write a note on the index card to each member of your family. Write something you love about them, qualities they have that you enjoy, write prayers to them, etc. Put the card in their envelope.
- Enjoy reading what everyone wrote.
- At the end of this study put all the envelopes in a Ziploc baggie with the year on it. So each year you do this as a family you can look back at the previous year to see what everyone wrote.
