"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in
iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all
things. Love never fails." (1 Cor. 13:4-8)
The book, as well as the movie, Little Lord Fauntleroy, is about a seven-year-old boy who went
from the United States to stay with his grandfather in England. Although the grandfather was
extremely mean, harsh, and selfish, the lad could see nothing but good in him. He said over and
over, "Grandpa, how people must love you. You're so good and kind in all you do." No matter
how disagreeable the elderly man was, his grandson saw only the best in everything he did.
Eventually, the youngster's unfailing love softened the heart of the cantankerous old man. As a
result, the older gentleman began to change his ways and, in time, became the unselfish, kind,
wonderful person his grandson saw in him.
May we learn a lesson from the little boy and, through love, seek to bring out the best in others.
