THE LEARNING OF LOVE

THE LEARNING OF LOVE

Love lives- continually  gives ~ LOVE NEVER FAILS

 Love never leaves & never deceives.

Love always remembers , Love sometimes grieves

Love establishes, Love includes, Love understands, Love honors, Love forgives, Love waits…

There are secret  things with Love-mysteries, moments, memories

The secret  things belong to One higher, sovereign, & wiser

But the things that inspire LOVE & the things that are revealed about LOVE;

Belong to us- to our sons & daughters, to our siblings & grandparents, family & friends

~THE THINGS REVEALED ABOUT LOVE BELONG TO US~

That we may observe, honor, & remember

ALWAYS & FOREVER

Heart Condition

Yesterday’s mistakes will be future learning. ~Today’s experiences will be tomorrow’s memories.   ~Tomorrow’s beginning will require today’s rest.    ~A season of regrets can ignite the moment of change.   ~The opportunity to love can be a treasured choice.   ~The decision to forgive will impact how you live.   ~The act of forgiveness is a gift to the spirit. ~The willingness to take a chance can be the adventure that jumpstarts the heart.   ~The pain of loss can give way to greater compassion.

SO~ J ~ WE LIVE ON PURPOSE,  WE SHARE LIFE with others,  WE FORGIVE and try to forget,  WE HAVE HOPE for tomorrow   WE LOVE ON PURPOSE.

Winter
There's something about the still of a cold, winter  night. The heart takes notice of God's creation with  a sense of awe and reverence. Something about our earthly January calendar- when winter's grab can still us, grip us, embrace us. We find it easy to strike up idle conversations, help a stranded  stranger, pause and take notice of what is frigid and beautiful.  When our surroundings are covered in a wool blanket- we too tend to cuddle and settle into the warmth and wonder of the moment; we are forced to slow down, we can be tempted  to complain, but yet there is a kindness that is awakened in our spirit. There is a concern for the homeless, a tenderness for the unknown heart waiting by the side swiped car; there is a gentle hope that we all arrive to that place of safety, to that loved one who is waiting, the warm welcome at the close of day. That first winter storm can change our course, force  a different pace, cause one to  appreciate what is often overlooked, reach out, remember and reflect on those we hold dear,  smile at a child's wobbly snowman-- We must  surrender to what we can not control--nature has stood tall, and we must respect her presence- His power.
