Love

THE HOLY BIBLE:  ON LOVE 

1Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. 

Love does not demand in its own way. 

It is not irritable or touchy. 

It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong.

It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. 

If your love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost.  You will always believe in him, and always stand your ground in defending him.

All the special gifts and powers from God will someday come to an end, but love goes on forever.

Rice Trivia:

Some old folks say that rice probably originated from wild species of grass that grew along the shores of lakes in Africa, India and Southeastern Asia.

There was also a legend that rice first came to China during a famine: Once, a young girl went fishing, and caught the king of frogs. The king told the girl to hold out her net to the sun while he croaked a magic song. The girl did what she was told. And slowly, golden light fell through the meshes of the net and there sprouted golden grains.
