The makings of a gift are stirred slowly, blending and binding hearts.

Bricks in the wall that huddle close together keep out the cold and make strong the house.

Until the angels come, cherish one another dearly all your days.

With love we make our way softly to a place of joy.

Spread the love among the people for the things that matter most.

Love is our sacred inheritance, our holy endeavor, our greatest treasure.

God has drenched the earth with love, soaked it to the bones, and thrown open the gates of heaven to the love we would return.
