Acts of Love
I would like to know what all acts of LOVE you can think of and then a list of the opposite.
Like love in action:
Feeding the hungry
giving to the poor
calling on a sick friend
visiting someone in prison
praying for a friend
visiting a friend in the hospital
taking food for a funeral
giving a gift
cleaning someone's house or car
Opposite of love in action:
gossip
sowing discord
lying
stealing
fighting

Good. I understand it takes 5 positives to offset one negative.

That could be true. I know it takes so much more time and effort to rebuild trust than it takes to break trust.
