Story Device: What would you do for Love?

Your children are hungry and food banks and church programs only go so far. School is starting and they need clothes, new shoes, school supplies. Christmas or a birthday is coming up soon. And you don't have any money. What would you be willing to do for them? How many times have you thought to yourself, "Oh, I'd never do that...?" Would you be willing to do it now? Use the above as a story starter or dream up a totally new character facing extreme circumstances and give that character the choice of doing something for the sake of Love that they never imagined they were capable of doing. Does Love give us extra strength or will power or courage? How so? How can you use that in a story?
