Happy Valentine's Day
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.
WOW!! This is a gorgeous post, Olivia!! Not only the, but you choose the perfect pictures for each sentence.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks, Bailey! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!
DeleteOH MY STARS AND STRIPES. This is beauteous Olivia!!!! I was already sighing and squealing, but then when I got to the "It always protects" with Tom and Sung Foo....AAAAAHHHHHHHH. You sure know how to get the feels going. ;-P
ReplyDeleteAmen to all that! Happy Valentine's Day, dear friend. :-)
Awww, THANKS EMMA. I knooooooooow--Tom and Sun Fu are basically DA BEST EVAR. I love them sooooo much :)
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you, too!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Okay, this was way prettier and more beautiful than I thought it would be when I clicked the link.
ReplyDeleteThese verses are impeccable. People sometimes wonder what 'true love' is. Well, the answer is in those verses. :-)
*blushes* Thank ya, Naomi! I'm so glad you liked it :)
DeleteAmen, sista!
SO BEAUTIFUL, OLIVIA, OH MY GOODNESS. I loved how you picked the PERFECT pictures for each part of the verses. (By the way, this is one of my favorite Bible passages!) Just lovely. <33333
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, dearie!
Mary, EEEEEEEEEEE, THANK YOU! That makes me so happy :D (It's a beautiful passage!)
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day . . .
ReplyDelete*happy sigh*
This post is BEAUTIFUL. You done it again, my friend ;-)
And I love how you used the St. Paul verses. 'Cause, like Naomi said, THAT is the real definition of "true love."
My favorites are . . . mmmmmmmmmmmm . . . I think Tom + Sung Foo, and Aragorn + Arwen. Love those choices :-) "It always protects . . ." YESSSSSSSSSSS.
You know, I can't help wishing there were clips of "Broken Trail" on YouTube so I could watch at least a LITTLE bit. Because I don't feel comfortable with watching the whole movie (I mean, I'm afraid that I might find parts of it too harsh or something), but I really really REALLY want to see at least something of Tom and Sung Foo. Because they look too adorable for words. Seriously. They do.
Awww, thanks, Jessica! You're too kind ;D
DeleteYes! I thought it'd be nice :)
GAAAAAHHH, YESH. Those are two of my very favorites, too ;)
Ooh, ooh! I found ONE clip for you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVX98yqqr7M&list=PL2jGwGpRYwZo-Bw1M-Phk1quNeTXeYgDQ&index=2
It's just a very brief glimpse of what Tom is like…he's a fierce protector, and he stands up for this guy who's being antagonized for playing his fiddle. And him's beautiful, just sayin' <3 I really love Tom, as you know :) YES THEY ARE LIKE THE CUTEST THINGS IN THE WORLD. I just…no words. None at all.
And I understand about not wanting to watch the whole movie…it IS very intense. I was concerned about it first too, but I was actually able to handle it, surprisingly. There are a couple scenes that I wouldn't see again, however, namely a suicide scene that's really tragic and just too hard for me to watch.
Okay, so . . . I watched the clip. And then I found two other clips and I watched them. And . . .
DeleteI'm in love, basically.
I mean, like, GAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HIS FACE AND EYES ARE SO SAAAAAAAAAD. And the way he stands up for the poor fiddler . . . and EVERYTHING . . . Yeah. Basically. That's my baby right there. :-)
How is it that you and I have the same tastes about practically EVERYTHING???? I don't know. But I do know it's really cool :-)
Needless to say, I may be re-considering my decision not to watch this movie ;-)
GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
DeleteWe've talked. BUT SERIOUSLY IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE AS I AM. Is he not like the most amazing…gah. I need to stop before I totally throw away any persona of maturity at all ;D
I know! It's crazy, but awesome, that we're so similar :D
Yep.
DeleteHe IS. That is all. ;-)
:) I still need to get those videos to you...
DeleteOlivia, this was wonderful!!! Just stunning!! :D
ReplyDeleteI saw Dido and John from the movie "Belle". I love them so much! Have you seen the movie?! I'm finding that not many bloggers have.
~Cordy
Aww, thanks, Cordy!
DeleteYES! I love that movie. It's actually one of my top three favorite period dramas (the other two are Sense and Sensibility (2008) and Wives and Daughters). :)
It's funny, and yet totally understandable; I posted the same chunk from 1 Corinthians 13 on my blog as well (although it was just a chunk of text, nothing like yours!). Happy Valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteReally?! I'll have to check out your Valentine's Day post, KB! I've actually been meaning to get over to your blog for a while…Happy Valentine's! :)
DeleteI LOVE this post!! The words connected with the pictures were so perfect! Gilbert and Anne = patience. Kit and Cinderella = kind. Aragorn and Arwen = perseverance. And then the last picture!!! Ahhh! Talk about a powerful ending.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, Olivia!! Happy Valentines Day! :D
AAAHHH, thanks, Miss March! I'm so glad you liked it :D Happy Valentine's!
DeleteAwww, I loved this so much!!! Because Anne and Gilbert and Kit and Ella and Han and Leia, and Sherlolly (aghha!! Make them a thing) and Belle and whats-his-name, and Faramir and Eowyn, and Aragorn and Arwen, and Catherine and Henry and GAH!!!! So good.... This was excellent!
ReplyDeleteEeeeee! Thanks, Abigail! (I KNOW, SHERLOLLY NEEDS TO BE A THING.)
DeleteSuch a beautiful post!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you combined each picture with the text!
(And on a completely different note, I love your new header! Where is that big picture on the left from?)
Thanks so much, Rose!
DeleteThey're from an episode of the TV show Leverage. I just reviewed the episode, actually :D Aren't they adorable?!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOLIVIA!!!!!
This post!!!!! You completely and totally blew me away with this!! I was mentally screaming when reading this because it's SO GORGEOUS.
Ohhh myyy. Goodness.
I don't know all the couples on this post, but I love how you fit the lines of the verses with the photos. Especially the verses "love is patient" to "it is not proud". Anne and Gil, Kit and Cinderella (!!), ROBIN AMD MARIAN, Han and Leia, Henry and Danielle....
AND FARAMIR/EOWYN AND ARWEN/ARAGORN AT THE BOTTOM WITH THE LINES ABOUT HOPING AND PERSEVERING.
Olivia, this post is perfection. I'm going to save it so I can look at it again and again.
In case my exuberance seems rather over the top, trust me that I truly was as excited by this post as my comment makes it seem. I LOVE IT.
Happy Valentine's Day, my friend!! :)
And the cross photo at the end. Just wow. It's so beautiful!!!!
DeleteAwww, Natalie, YOUR COMMENT MADE ME SO HAPPY. I thank you, my friend :)
DeleteGaaaaaaaahhh, thanks! I'm SO thrilled you liked it so much! Really, that makes me so happy.
Happy Valentine's!
(Isn't it?!)
You are so welcome! I do love it. I think I'm going to read it again right now!! :D
DeleteAww! Yaysies :)
DeleteThank you for writing this post. The pictures made it even more lovely.
ReplyDeleteI kind of laughed at the first picture of love with patient with Anne and Gilbert. After waiting about 6 hour to see them get together, I would have to say that Gilbert was definitely patient. :-)
The last picture was perfect. Thank you for reminding me of the person who loves us most.
Aww, thanks for reading, Ekaterina!
DeleteHaha, I know, right?! Honestly, Gil and Anne aren't even one of my favorite period drama couples *ducks*, but they are such the epitome of patience that I had to include them :)
You're so welcome!
Lol! You actually picked the appropriate response of ducking when you said that Anne and Gil weren't one of your favorite period drama couples because my first response was wanting to throw a pillow at you. My second response was I still like you. :-)
DeleteHahaha! I LIKE them, of course, but there are just other couples that I like MORE. You know ;D
DeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYesssss, that last picture.<3 (Because that was first.) HIS LOVE IS THE BEST LOVE.
All those adorable pics!! Ella and Kit, and Gil and Anne!! And I echo Rose, I love the way you combined the text with the pictures.
~Rilla Blythe
AMEN SISTA.
DeleteAww, thanks, Rilla! I'm so glad you liked it :)
Ermagerd- so beautiful. Love that you put Arwen and Aragorn for the "Always Preservers"
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks, Morg! I know, aren't they perfect for that verse?
DeleteThose first four couples, Olivia. I love all of them. Most ardently. ;)
ReplyDelete(Actually, I'm still warming up to Robin Hood/Marian, but I'm pretty sure I'll like them more as time goes on.)
And, then the LotR couples. Excellent choices. :D
Thanks, Meredith! :D
Delete(I understand. They can both be frustrating now and then ;D)
Glad you liked it!
SQUEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! That was so LOVELY! I love those verses :) And the pictures you picked are PERFECT! My favorites are Robin+Marian, Henry+Danielle, and Aragorn+Arwen. But they're all lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh and I love how under "It keeps no record of wrongs" you put the couple from You've Got Mail. Hahaha :P
Eeeeeee! Thanks, Rosie!
DeleteHaha, yeah, I couldn't resist ;P
Ooooo so pretty! Faramir and Eowyn <3 Aragorn and Arwen. Gilbert and Anne. Han and Leia. Robin and Marian. You picked some great ones!! And the last picture, " Love never fails." Beautiful! Happy belated-Valentine's day!! <3
ReplyDeleteI knooooow, right?! Aww, thanks, Morgan :) Happy belated Valentine's Day to you, too!
DeleteGAH this is beautiful. I love Han and Leia, Anne and Gilbert, and of course, Eowyn and Faramir. ;)
ReplyDelete~Lizzy
Thanks, Lizzy!!! I know, aren't they the best?! :)
DeleteALL THE SHIPS. And that verse is such a good reminder of how to TRULY love others.
ReplyDeleteEeeeee, yes! Thanks for your comment, Laura! :D
DeleteOh my goodness I love this! These are just too cute! :) BUT WHERE IS PARDISON?!?!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI mean besides the being on the header that is....
DeleteYOU NOTICED THEY WERE GONE! Aaaaahhh, Lois, you don't even know--I wanted to have them in the post SO BAD and I just couldn't find the right place to put them and it made me saaaaaaaaaaaad!
Delete(Wow. That was a very dramatic response to a very normal question. Apologies.)
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
That was perfect. Thank you. And Happy Valentine's Day to you, a day late!
ReplyDeleteHamlette, aww, thanks! Happy Valentine's!
DeleteOh. My. Word.
ReplyDelete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has got to be one of my favourite Valentine's Day post EVUH. :D It's so simple, but so...gah...TOUCHING. Lemme me just squeal about this for a good while (I know most of the couples)!
AH ANNE AND GIL!!! *wipes away happy tear* They're so PERFECT. And they sure were patient (Gil especially, haha).
I GET IT I GET IT....have courage and be KIIIND. Nice. :D
ROBIN AND MARIAN...oh dear...that may have been too much for my heart to bear. :P
HAN AND LEIA!!! SQUEEEEEEE!!! Haha, BOAST and HAN? ;P
DANIELLE AND HENRY!!! Oh they're so adorable. Muah. <3
MOLLY AND SHERLOCK!!!!!!!!!! AHHH!! That just about DID IT for me. ;) They're...ah...gosh, I think they're the couple I ship the most, that aren't clearly and 'obviously' shipped. They just FIT and BELONG together. And LOOK, LOOK Sherlock is SMILING!!!!! Oh, excuse me while I fade away out of pure exhaustion from all this perfection....
Hmm...looks like James McAvoy....not seen that one. :P
HAVEN'T SEEN LETTERS TO JULIET....YET. (Haha...sink me! ;P)
Oh, I saw part of You've Got Mail!! It made me actually like Tom Hanks. :D
I HAVEN'T SEEN BELLE YET!!!!
NOR HAVE I SEEN NORTHANGER ABBEY!!
OR LONESOME DOVE! (Wait...I think that's from Lonesome Dove. :P)
Um...sorry....don't recognize that one. ;)
*shrieks* FARAMIR AND EOWYN!!!!! AND HOPE! Oh oh OHOHOHOH!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
PERSEVERANCE WITH ARWEN AND ARAGORN!!!!! OH MY STARS Olivia I could never in a million years have done this as well as you. It's PERFECT.
And that last picture! No words. NO. WORDS. I can't even....nope. You've left me speechless.
OBVIOUSLY, I rather liked this post. ;) (OKAY REALLY I LOVED IT TO DEATH.)
~Miss Meg
Dawww, THANKS, MEG!!!!
DeleteEeeeeeeeeekkk, I'm sososo glad you liked it!
SHERLOLLY FOREVUH. They belong together. Just…yes.
You should try Penelope! (The James McAvoy one.) I wrote a review of it, actually, and it's such a darling movie :)
Haha, it's from Broken Trail, actually, not Lonesome Dove. But they've both got Robert Duvall, so, you know :P
Gaaaaaaahhh, STAHP. You're making me blush, you all are :D
I'm so thrilled you loved it!
AMEN
ReplyDeleteBut seriously though I agree about every single one
Thanks, Ev! Glad you agree, I figured you would :D
DeleteOh love this post! So gorgeous; the scripture, the pictures. Too many feeeels! And so many couples that I just love to pieces (like all the couples, lol)
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks, Faith! Haha, I know, right?!
