All we need is love...... You know the song.... We are human , God created us that way... Isn't He so smart ? I need love, Kenny needs love, Holly needs love, Snickers and Belle need love, Ezzie needs love.... One Eye, Pretty Kitty and her sister, pretty white cat with blue eyes, poopy orange kitten all need love. We were created in His image. Do we love Jesus as much as he loves us ? Ba Ba Ba Ba Bahhhh.... Do we love His creation as much as He loves it ? Do we treat each other with love ?
Just a few thoughts crossing my mind this Valentines' evening. I tell you the truth. You need to read the shack. It will change your thought process if even a little about your level of giving and receiving love. From God, and from our friends and from our husbands. ( or wives)
I have a love for Kenny that I would have never been able to describe years ago. It is ever unfolding , changing and blooming . Love is not an easy verb. It often comes with some heart ache, some pain, some extreme circumstances. Also some extreme joys and a few sorrows. It has turned into so much more than I ever thought possible. I loved my first husband, I loved him as I thought I new best. But this is different, It is so much more . Ours is a relationship unusual as Kenny has had a lot of medical problems or issues... My role of wife, lover , friend is different as I almost have to put some of those rolls in a different order. It has taken me several years to get a grip on it and understand how it actually works. I fought it so much for a while. But you know what ? I think it works. Let me change that, It does work...
Life is hard. It is so uncertain
It can turn on a dime and what you think is normal is so far from reality you can't even begin to focus. Love is giving and giving and giving and giving..... Love is not looking to receive. It's only direction is to give. In giving is where you find peace and security. Sure you will receive in return... But that is not where you'll find your contentment. And It is hard to learn to give is to receive.... But The Wise and Wonderful Giver taught us that. He;
( the Lord Jesus Christ ) is the orchestrator of this great scheme.... and it works ! Hallelujah! The Lord did not bless us with our mate to take the crap of our lives and fix it . He Blessed us with our mates to help us through the CRAP. Don't tell me you've not dealt w/ any of that... I know better.
God is Good and his mercy is new each day. As is his gift of love for you and me. I hope you are blessed with a friend a companion a soul mate, a helper, a challenger, a companion, an honest listener.
I am ....
Happy Valentine's Day.... I hope you have love. I hope Love has you.
God Bless You. ~J
