Love…there’s nothing like it. For a significant portion of my life, I wasn’t sure it existed. Except deep down, I knew it did. But my love jar seemed to be either broken, twisted, empty, angry, or confused.
And then….things changed. Life happened. Over and over, for years at a stretch, life ran over me pretty much like those tires with a life-time warranty just keep pounding the pavement. Over and over, smothing out the rough spots but adding plenty of new wrinkles.
This was/is a good thing, no really, a great thing, if I care to admit it. With all of that being “rung through the ringer”, a whole lot of nonsense got washed out of my heart, and a whole lot of understanding got rinsed in, and boy oh boy do I appreciate this new understanding…..of how love, can heal a heart.
God is love. Pretty cool that statement. Actually that’s an understatement, but I like it anyway. Today, I’m thankful for God’s love, and that I know it’s real and that I can feel it. Took awhile, but it happened.
The parts of how it happened that I understand are pretty intense, and the parts I don’t understand that I still believe in are all linked somehow. So why try to share at all, this mysterious thing we call love?
Guess my answer is this, once you really get it, you feel it, it’s wonderful, and it just spills out, in so many ways. Love has been good to me, and I just want to share it.
So….on this Valentine’s day 2013, embrace love. Love God, who’s given you this life, this awesome opportunity to live, love your family, love your friends, even love your enemies. You’ll see fear vanish and you’ll experience the joy and peace that takes it place.
Today I’m sending my Love to you all, (but especially my precious husband Mike), and Happy Valentines Day.
