What Is The Best Expression of Love? Your Time.

I do feel that the best use of one’s life is to love others. And the best expression of love is to give someone your time.

Many people think the word love is spelled L-O-V-E. But It’s better to spell it T-I-M-E. We need to show love through sincere actions, not empty promises.

When you love someone there is almost a desire to be fulfilled in only one manner and that is to have that persons focused attention. When I love someone I want to be with that person, I want to stay focused on that person, look in their eyes, listen to what they have to share with me, and just be content that they are with me.

The greatest gift you can give anyone is your time—because your time is your life, and you only have a certain amount of life that is given to each of us and no one knows how much that is as God has already decided the number of days we are going to live and we are not going to get anymore. A person can always get more money but they cannot get more time, once it’s gone it’s gone. That’s why the time you give someone is so precious and tell that person, “I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH”!!
