Defining Love

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

As you can see from reading this familiar passage found in 1 Corinthians 13 love has many definitions. But, abuse is not one of them.

Celebrate this February as Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month by helping young people across the country develop safe and healthy relationships.

Look for posts in the coming weeks that will serve as tools in helping our young people understand what a safe and healthy relationship looks like. I will be covering everything from bullying and cyber abuse to teen dating violence and safe relationships. I also will provide tools and resources you can use to talk with your kids about healthy relationships. Sign up to be a follower and you won't miss a single post!
