Listen without interrupting. Speak without accusing. Give without sparing. Pray without ceasing. Answer without arguing. Share without pretending. Enjoy without complaint. Trust without wavering. Forgive without punishing. Promise without forgetting.
I should point out that these ten come from The Bible. They don't appear together as a single list but rather they are found in various sources. Four of them come from Proverbs. One is from the letter of Saint James. The other half of these are from writings of Saint Paul.
I think it's a beautiful list! Did they leave anything out? Perhaps when things get tough or is tension builds, this would be a great reminder of some very simple acts that are an important part of love!
