LOVE

When all else passes, the Biblespeaks of faith, hope and the

greatest of all, love. In ourlanguage, all types of love aregrouped together. However, inGreek there are four types of

words for love- passion,brotherhood, patriotic love anddivine love. Yes, it can be said

“love makes the world goround.” We all love ice cream,some love money, some love

their job, everybody lovessomething. Jesus said we are to

love God with all our hearts andbeing and we are to love our

neighbor as we love ourselves.Of all the commandments of

God, these two should be

applied to everything we do.One of the greatest sins is to

betray love. The greatest test ofour character is the faithfulnessof our love of God, to ourselves,

our family, our country, ourchurch, friends and to our

ideals. Yes, indeed, love makesthe world go round.

choose mint Oreos; for peanutbutter, choose peanut butter)1 bag of semisweet chocolate

chips (12 ounces)1 package of cream cheese,
