love in unexpected places

As usual, this past week there were examples of love all around me (they're everywhere, if we only look), but the expression of love that most moved me this week was a recent post by Jen Lemen. She didn't write this post for Love Thursday, but it's just such an amazing example of showing love and kindess to a total stranger, I wanted to make sure you saw it. Her words stayed wtih me all day, and it reminded me of the following quote I recently read:

Even three times a day to offer three hundred pots of food to the needy does not match a portion of the merit in one instant of love. -- Nagarjuna

For those of you in America, Happy Thanksgiving, and to everyone around the world, Happy Love Thursday. As always, please share your links of love in the comments below, and your images in the Love Thursday Flickr pool. Also, don't forget to check out the Love Is All Around site for more beautiful images, as well.

Many blessings from our family to yours.
