1 Peter Chapter Four

1 Pet. 4:8

In the middle of one of may parents’ more memorable disagreements, my father jumped up from the table, grabbed two sheets of paper, and said to my mother, “Let’s make a list of everything we don’t like about each other.” Mom started writing. Dad glowered at her for a few minutes, and then wrote on his paper. She wrote again. He watched her, and every time she stopped, he would start writing again. They finally finished. “Let’s exchange complaints,” Dad said. They gave each other their lists. “Give mine back,” Mom pleaded when she glanced at his sheet. All down the page Dad had written: “I love you, I love you, I love you.”―― Robert L. Thornton
