Description "Love is patient and kind.... Love never gives up." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4,7

Alan Loy McGinnis tells this story about the aut hor Dr. Norman Lobsenz. Young Norman's wife was in the midst of a serious i llness, and the ordeal was taking its toll on Norman. One night he was on the verge of collapse when, suddenly, he recalled an incident from his ch ildhood. One night when his mother had taken ill, Norman got up around mid night to get a drink of water.

"No, Norman," his father said softly, "I'm just sitting here watching ov er her, in case she wakes and need something."

That long-forgotten incident from his childhood gave Norman all the strength he needed to carry on. ~ Mark Link, S.J.
