It seems only appropriate with today being Valentine’s day to write about LOVE. Four simple little letters, L-O-V-E….. to express a very powerful word! Of course today is more about the romantic kind of Love but there is so much more to Love than hugs and kisses, a box of candy, or little words of expression on a post a note.
Love means to be deeply committed or connected to someone or something. Love comes in different degrees of depth. Love can be taught by example. Love can bring change in others. Love is patient and kind. Love defines the nature of someone. Love shows deep expression. Love is a listening ear. Love builds up without tearing down. Love requires more than saying “I Love you.” Love is expressed through actions. Love must be nurtured. Being loved is a human need. Love is never lustful.
As a young girl of 16 I was certain I knew what love was. But a marriage at age 17 opened my eyes to all of the things that love was not. What a great learning experience that life brought to me at that point in time. A learning experience that has helped me become who I am today. I now have a much broader understanding of Love and what it is and isn’t.
I have developed a love for good wholesome things such as music, nature, hobbies, friendships and family relationships. I love my fellow man. I am learning to love myself. My love for my late husband continues to grow deeper. I love the freedoms we have in this great land. I love my Father in Heaven and His Son Jesus Christ and those who represent them. Death does not take away Love, for true Love is Eternal!!!
This World Needs Love!
