Letter: Many ways to say ‘love’ this weekend - Chico Enterprise-Record

What is love?

This is the time of the year where we get all sorts of answers to that question. It may be easy to get overwhelmed with the suggestion that love is candy, teddy bears or sparkly diamonds. Love isn’t all puppies and rainbows like Hallmark cards. Sometimes love is straightforward and directive. Sometimes it is filled with mercy and forgiveness, other times it is perspective giving. Sometimes it looks like an immediate response to need.

What does love look like for us? Valentine’s Day serves as an opportunity for people to share feelings of love, affection and friendship. Here at the Jesus Center we focus on opportunities to come close.

1. Choose to be before choosing to do. Greet and welcome. Look into their eyes. Say hello. If you have time, inquire as to their wel-lbeing, their history or their needs. 2. If you want to do something, think immediate and think long term. Instead of money, a bottle of water or a soft protein bar are great as short-term offerings. This time of year, a hand warmer or a pair of socks are welcome.

For long-term transformation and opportunity, send them to the Jesus Center as a great starting place or straight to shelter to the Torres Shelter for men and to Sabbath House or Torres for women.
