What Love Sounds Like

• Hundreds of envelopes being torn open during the final meeting of my class at church.
• “Mommy, I want to empty the dishwasher by myself for you!”
• Dan humming Joy FM songs at dinner.
• Whispered bedtime prayers.
• The ding of a text message arriving from a friend who loves me.
• Birds chirping in the morning, God’s love song telling me I get another day to try again.
• Honking horns at Public Works Day, because it means the workers love the kids and want them to have fun.
• “Did you sit next to Caleb?” “No, Caleb sat next to me.”
