Don't Ever Give Up...

On Love

*This is a video review

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time for me.  I love loving family especially at this time of the year.  My husband, my children, my family and friends mean the world to me.  

This morning I realized just how blessed, how really blessed I am.  

True, there are things I desire to have.  There are places I desire to go.  However, I am finally loving where I am.  I'm thankful for where I'm going.  

Lord knows it's taken me half a lifetime to get to this place but thank God I'm here.  Yesterday I kept looking at the selfie my husband and little girl took.  As I looked at it, my emotions rose higher and higher.  I'm so grateful to have such love.  I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  

If you desire this type of love, start by first loving where you are and what you have.  I know everyone doesn't desire the same things.  For example, after being in my secluded world with my hubby and child for a couple of years, I started to desire friends...real friends outside of my circle of the known, the comfortable, the secure.  Well, people started knocking on my door.  You know what, I'm starting to open the door wider and wider because I know they are gifts.  

This may be the love some of us desire as I did.  And, of course I'm oh so thankful for it.

The video below may express more of what I'm trying to say (Click on the word LOVE):

LOVE

In this video the young man has a severe handicap that probably would have sent most women the other way, running.  Not in this case!  Not only did he gain a friend, a lover, an angel, a confidante, this young man gained a wife.

Oh let me add, I spoke to my students about their idea of love and relationships last night.  Many who know me, I mean truly knows me, know that I'm in love with LOVE.  So, I share this energy where ever I go.  OMG, most of my student's views were so bleak, I almost couldn't stand it.  But, I realized, I too was once in that very space.  Readers, I pray I'll never be in such darkness ever again.  

I've learned that love shows up the way love is truly expressed through each of us.  In essence, if you give it with expectations and motive, then you'll get the same in return.  If you give love sparingly, you'll get or not get.  

You be the judge.
