[00:01.18]Love Unlimited 1

[00:06.43]Freda Bright says: "Only in opera do people die of love."

[00:11.90]It's true. You really can't love somebody to death.

[00:15.62]I've known people to die from no love,

[00:18.24] but I've never known anyone to be loved to death.

[00:21.85]We just can't love one another enough.

[00:25.13]A heart-warming story tells of a woman

[00:27.76]who finally decided 2 to ask her boss for a raise in salary.

[00:31.58] All day she felt nervous and apprehensive 3.

[00:34.64]Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer.

[00:39.89] To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.

[00:42.96]The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table

[00:46.46] set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing.

[00:50.62] Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive 4 meal.

[00:54.33]She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or...

[00:58.37]did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?

[01:02.21]She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news.

[01:05.59] They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal.

[01:10.19] Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note.

[01:13.47] It read: "Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise!

[01:18.50]These things will tell you how much I love you."

[01:21.12]Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up.

[01:25.29]She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket.

[01:28.79]Picking it off the floor, she read

[01:31.30]: "Don't worry about not getting the raise!

[01:33.71] You deserve it anyway!

[01:35.35]These things will tell you how much I love you."

[01:38.20]Someone has said that the measure of love is

[01:41.26]when you love without measure.

[01:43.33] What this man feels for his spouse 5 is total acceptance and love,

[01:47.71]whether she succeeds or fails.

[01:50.77]His love celebrates her victories and soothes 6 her wounds.

[01:55.58] He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction.

[01:59.52]Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize,

[02:02.36] Mother Teresa said: "What can you do to promote world peace?

[02:06.85]Go home and love your family and love your friends.

[02:11.00]Love them without measure."
