Tolerance vs. Love

[Danielle]

Tolerance says, "You must approve of what I do."

Love responds, "I must do something harder:

I will love you even when your behavior offends me."

Tolerance says, "You must agree with me."

Love responds, "I must do something harder:
I will tell you the truth,
because I am convinced 'the truth will set you free.'"

Tolerance says, "You must allow me to have my way."

Love responds, "I must do something harder:
I will plead with you to follow the right way,
because I believe you are worth the risk."

************************************************** ********

Tolerance seeks to be inoffensive;

Love takes risks.

Tolerance glorifies division;

Love seeks unity.

Tolerance costs nothing;

Love costs everything.

Hi Danielle,

We haven't heard from you lately. We hope you are doing well. We hope you and all your family are doing well after that terrible tsunami. You are probably one of the many volunteers that are helping others. Let us know if you are ok when you read this.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Lynn

hello lynn . . .
appreciate your concern so much . . .
i went home to the Philippines for the holidays and sure have been busy visiting relatives and friends . . .
and have been more busier with all the aids that we are doing for the victims of the calamities that struck the Asian countries . . .
my family are ok and i will be back there soon if not sooner . . .
ONCE AGAIN, THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONCERN . . .

Hi Danielle,

I am so glad to hear from you. We were really concerned. With all the pictures you posted of Thailand, we thought maybe you lived in that area. I am so glad to hear that you and your family are all safe.

I knew that you would be involved somehow with the relief effort. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people there.

Again, glad to hear you are safe and sound.

Lynn
