A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous. Late in the afternoon she gathered the 36 to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a 37 . The woman arrived home that evening to find a beautiful table 38 with their best dishes. Candles were softly burning. Her 39 had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had given him the information 40 , or··· did he just somehow know that she would not get the request 41 ?
She found him in the kitchen and 42 him the good news. They happily sat down to enjoy the wonderful 43 . Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered card which was her husband's 44 of writing. It read “Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.” 45 The supper, her husband went into the kitchen to 46 . She noticed that a second 47 had fallen from his pocket. 48 it up off the floor, she read, “Don't worry about not getting the raise! But you 49 it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you.”
Someone has said that the 50 of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total 51 and love, whether she succeeds or 52 . His love celebrates her victories and 53 her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throw in their direction..
Upon receiving the Nobel for 54 , Mother Teresa said, “What can you do to 55 to the world peace? Go home and love your family.” And love your friends. Love then without measure.
