Love Adds a Little Chocolate
A house is a house-~-until love comes through the door，
that is. And love intuitively goes around sprinkling that spe-
cial brand of angel dust that transforms a house into a very
special home for very special people: your family.
Money， of course， can build a charming house， but only
love can furnish it with a feeling of home.
Duty can pack an adequate sack lunch， but love may
decide to enclose a little love note inside.
Money can provide a television set， but love controls it and
cares enough to say no and take the guff that comes with it.
Obligation sends the children to bed on time， but love
tucks the covers in around their necks and passes out kisses
and hugs (even to teenagers!).
Obligation can cook a meal， but love embellishes the table
with a potted ivy trailing around slender candles.
Duty writes many letters， but love adds a joke or a picture
or a flesh stick of gum inside.
Compulsion keeps a sparkling house. But love and prayer
stand a better chance of producing a happy family.
Duty gets offended quickly if it isn t appreciated， but love
learns to laugh a lot and to work for the sheer joy of doing it.
Obligation can pour a glass of milk， but quite often， love
adds a little chocolate.
