Remember Paul’s admonition to the Corinthians:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a)

Please commit to apply this passage and express love to each other and the people involved in helping you.  We want the best for you both.
