Sunday Morning Message - “Love…”
Good morning :-)
When I look back upon my childhood, growing up and as an adult, I have always wondered about love. When I was younger we always said it to our parents. I loved my toys. I loved my grandparents. But what did it mean when I said it? What did I feel like when I felt it? As I got older I knew there was a difference between the love you felt for your dog and the love you thought you felt for your first girlfriend. It wasn’t until I had my Rottweiler in Vegas that I truly understood unconditional love; the greatest love of all. When I was going through a difficult time, he loved me. When I wasn’t there, he loved me. When I couldn’t care for him, he loved me. On his last day, when I put him to sleep, he loved me. I realized then what true love, unconditional love really was. I have worked hard to remember the lesson he taught me and I have tried diligently to practice this type of love in my own life. I have found it is not easy, but like I have always said “Nothing of great value is ever easily attained…”
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
