Love takes some effort

Tweet

A disclaimer: I'm too often guilty of this myself. Not so long ago if we really cared that you were sick or we just wanted to see you, we'd go for a visit. Nothing like a hug to show our love in person. But if we couldn't, whether you lived a thousand miles away or just down the road, a phone call was the next best thing. We can often tell by the sound of someone's voice how they really are. And if we were just too busy to call, a card was of course enough. And very thoughtful. But cards take a lot of effort. You have to go to a store, pick one out, buy a stamp, write two lines that express your love, then mail it....So if a card is just not doable, you can always send an email. That's easier, but you still have to be sure you have their email address (if they have one), then type a message and send it. Now, an email does take a few seconds, so if you're really too busy, just send a text. And if that's too much effort, a lovely little GIF is the ultimate show of love and concern. Prayers to God are of course the best, but not the only way to show we care. True love takes effort. God help us all.
