1 Corinthians 13: 4- 8

..Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up;  Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil;



 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth;  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never falleth away..


(Douay-Rheims)


Thinking about my husband and our marriage, I realize how often I fail to live up to St. Paul's standards. Especially the 'beareth,hopeth,believeth and endureth' part- at least, not without  expressed doubt !

Something to work on. God has expectations.
