Love is very much a matter of actions rather than emotions. However, although this emphasis on acts of love is certainly necessary, we can sometimes give the impression that love doesn’t involve any emotion – that it is entirely an act of the will, of one’s duty, regardless of how one feels. We can even promote the “I can love him but I can’t like him” type of attitude. The Bible does not support such an unbalanced concept of love…fervently, fondly, and affectionately (are used in the Bible) to describe the love Christians ought to have for one another… Obviously such a fervency of spirit cannot substitute for loving actions, but surely it should accompany them. We dare not settle for less.

1 1/4	c	Water
1	c	Sugar (or to taste)
2		Cloves (up to 4)
1		Sticks of cinnamon (up to 2)

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the above over low heat, till the sugar is melted. Let it warm for 5
minutes, then add a bottle of red wine (preferably a bordeaux or a
burgundy). Heat gently till small bubbles begin to form on the surface, but
do not let it boil. Strain and enjoy!
Of course the longer you leave it to warm, the more the flavour
develops...it depends on what you like. You can also garnish with a few
slices of orange or lemon.
