Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 A while back, some were inquiring about the word " agape " that uses in her closing. I just read in Feminine Appeal by Carolyn Mahaney: " The greek word agape refers to a self-sacrificing love. It's a love that gives to others even if nothing is given back. It's the love we are urged to pursue in the great love pasage of 1 Corinthians 13, so often read at weddings. " I read this and thought of all of us who are showing this type of love to our families as we make this journey through SCD. It is admirable, and I am continually inspired by those on this list who are willing to change the style of their lives for the sake of others. Hugs to all:)!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 That's right Jeni Lynn. Agape, is the unselfish, unconditional love God has for us, and that we're to show one another. I'm working on it!!! Agape, furryhalfpint jlknopp@...> wrote: A while back, some were inquiring about the word " agape " that uses in her closing.
