The whispered shout of I Love You

This morning, my wife whispered, "I love you." I didn't hear her at first, but eventually I did. Even if I hadn't heard her...even if she never uttered those words...I'd know she loves me by how she treats me. Now don't get me wrong. Saying those three words in addition to showing love is vital in a relationship, as I'm sure any marriage counselor would attest. It's also a reminder to me that if I intend to shout my love (or any good intentions for that matter) to my wife, to God, or to whomever, may my actions always sound at least as loud as my words.
