LOVE IS PATIENT.....

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 wrongs.  LOVE does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE never fails.......1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8

 

 

Mother Teresa once said: "GIVE of your hands to serve and your hearts to LOVE"

 

 

Once again, I could write on the word LOVE forever...did you know that LOVE recognizes no barriers.  It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, pentrates walls to arrive at its destination, full of hope.

 

As i started paying attention today to music, to people, to facebook, to text messages on my phone, to verbal conversations, to peoples actions...LOVE is everywhere.... i started looking through my Bible, and it seems like endless verses about LOVE:   because of His LOVE for us, LOVE the Lord, peace and LOVE be yours in abundance, He will quiet you in his LOVE,  and LOVE your neighbor as yourself. 

this is just a few.... i could keep going.  Amazing that since i decided to write about LOVE, it's all around me....

 

The Judd's have a song that i heard today...LOVE can build a bridge:  it says "I'd gladly walk across the desert with no shoes upon my feet.... LOVE can build a bridge between your heart and mine. LOVE can build a bridge, don't you think it's time?"

 

On my way home from school tonite, i heard George Strait's song... A River of LOVE...hey baby won't you take a little ride with me, have a look around, see what we can see, I've got the paddle, I've got the boat, come on baby, I know she'll float.

 

When i think of LOVE songs, LOVE me Tender automatically comes mind by Elvis Presley:

LOVE me tender,

LOVE me sweet

never let me go

you have made my life complete

and I LOVE you so.

 

Some other LOVE songs: Amazed by Lonestar

Breathe by Faith Hill

Carrying your LOVE with me by George Strait

Forever and ever Amen by Randy Travis

I LOVE the way you LOVE me by John Michael Montomery

 

So, they say there's LOVE at first sight?  I'm not so sure about that... i guess it depends on what your LOVE looks like.... for me, it's not just skin deep.... its what's in the heart, the eyes, and the soul... and it's been said Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty is LOVE. 

So in LOVE.... On this day....i promise to LOVE you... happiness will follow you everywhere you go.

 

When we talk about LOVE, we feel it in our heart... there are LOVE stories, LOVE poems, and unconditonal LOVE

 

there is the She LOVES me, LOVES me not flower...

 

 

 I personally don't take the word LOVE lightly.  Yet, I seem to use it often, and as I started paying attention to others around me, all the things I LOVE, things others LOVE....

I love the clear blue sky, i love puffy white clouds, i love to hear the ocean waves, the sound of seagulls and sea lions, i love a day at the park, swinging on swings, a ride down the slide, i love the smell of freshly mowed grass, the smell of baby powder, i love jigsaw puzzels, flowers, diet pepsi, home -cooked meals, McDonalds french fries, i love music, i love face timing with my mom and dad, i love my family, i love playing games, i love happy true stories, i love being a grandma, i love a rainbow, i love watching corn grow, i love that my only neice is pregnant, i love her husband for serving our country, i love having a daughter-in-law and a huge extended family, i love Viana and Alexis and Haylee, I love my kids and their beautiful hearts, their dad for being who is is and my parents, i love their attitudes no matter what event is thrown their way, i love my mother in law, i love my friends, i love Scotty man... he has taught me so much about life....i've loved someone and they didnt even know.....so you see love is all around..

 

There's just something about that word "LOVE", how it awakens one's senses. I found myself reflecting on my journey in life, where i've been and the road that lies before me.  Searching for the perfect words to grace my LOVE IS PATIENT blog...I am awestruck at the passionate nature of how people love, even from generations past.  There has always been something so capitvating about this thing called LOVE.  Mere words simply cannot accurately describe the depth of its meaning.  Yet since time began, people have searched their souls to express Love's essence through music, word art and so much more.The words i have chosen or that have flowed from my heart to my finger tips as i share my Love IS PATIENT blog.  May my writings bless you with a tender and joyful recollection of all that has touched you thus far on your journey.  I believe there is one definite purpose to life and that is to LOVE and be LOVED... may your cup overflow.

 

To the ones I love, you are the sun in my winter sky, you are the hello in my good-bye.  you are the stars shining down on me, you are my angel sent from above.

 

i want to close for now with not only Jesus loves me, but with Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children....

because of His AMAZING GRACE.....

 

 

 love is honest, love is true, love is what follows us through.
