In his book, Congregational Evangelism: A Pastor's View, Maxie Dunnam tells the story of a young woman named Leigh which demonstrates what it means to love someone as yourself. Leigh had recently lost an aunt who was almost like a mother to her. It had been a painful experience and involved lots of crying which was necessary for healing to take place. One morning, Leigh's six-year-old daughter, Katie, seeing her mother's grief, painted a picture and gave it to her.
