coincidence.

This morning’s reading was 1 Corinthians 13, ‘The Love Chapter’ as Gran called it. I love this passage and have actually been thinking about it a lot recently... Maybe you can tell… I figure now is as good a time as any to explain the name if this blog, because even I can admit, it does seem a bit random. Well, the url is a bit of a giveaway. I thought to myself, “I could just call it Charity. Or Charities Blog” (I like pretending my name can be plural. The spell checker doesn’t pick it up!) But I thought that was just too boring, and not meaningful enough. Effectively though, this is the same! And I am proud of my discovery :)

The King James Version reads;

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

I think this verse is speaking to me… Haha. Now, as a coincidence, I also read this today – also on the topic of love.

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

-Helen Keller

Some quotes only become truly profound when you realise the context in which they were said, and Helen Keller was a truly amazing and inspiring person. The capacity which I have, not only to live but to love suddenly seems immense.
