May we live into the examples of love that you share with us O God. Let us emulate those who seem to know how to love us so completely that we feel special just being near them. May we know when our love for those whom we are with needs to be expressed and give it unconditionally. Help us to celebrate and be encouraged by the people who are our heroes who seem to know how to love so much that we feel your presence just being around them. Give us the strength of their example so that we might become like them for others. Amen
