The message was delivered on Sunday, July 27th, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister.
DESCRIPTION:
What if the greatest wisdom about
love came from children? When 4 to 8-year-olds were asked "What
does love mean?" their answers revealed profound truths that adults
often miss. From a grandfather painting his arthritic wife's
toenails to a little boy who simply sat and helped his grieving
neighbor cry, these stories illuminate love's true
nature.
But here's the deeper question: Are
you truly listening to where love is leading your life? This
message explores how love becomes our most reliable compass through
life's toughest decisions - from family conflicts to impossible
choices. What happens when we make love our lens for every
situation?
Through the touching story of
"Chicken Farmer, I Love You" painted on a small town rock, discover
how authentic love persists even when circumstances change, people
move away, or others try to paint over it. The message that
appeared years later - "Chicken Farmer, I Still Love You" - reveals
something eternal about love's nature.
Why do some people carry deep
regrets while others find peace in their choices? The answer might
surprise you. When facing your most difficult decisions, there's
one question that cuts through confusion and brings clarity: What
would love have you do?
Will choosing love always guarantee
the outcome you want? What happens when love demands sacrifice,
patience, or forgiveness? How can we live with "indiscriminate
love" in a world full of conflict and pain?
