Your love for one another will prove to
the world that you are my disciples.
This weekend is Valentine’s day, and
there are many things that go along with this day. As a husband it is my day to spread a little
extra love to my wife. As a father it is
also my place, with my wife, to love on our kids. We often show this with gifts or a special
meal, but it is really about connecting with people we care about.
Today’s post is really more personal
than most. I am blessed to understand
and have had some excellent examples of love in my life. The love I am talking about is what looks
past my shortcomings and brings out the best in me.
I see that love in my wife. I know that is the way God loves me as
well. I experience this kind of
unconditional love when I have the opportunity to serve others. Often that serving is when we do for others
when they cannot do anything in return.
That might be the strongest definition of love that I have learned or
experienced.
Yesterday was the four-month
anniversary of my mom’s death. My mom
and dad have taught me about real love, and my mom was an incredible person in
so many ways. I miss her greatly. Time and we move on, and I continue to see the
blessings from God.
When Jesus saw his mother standing
there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, “Dear woman, here is your
son.”
This is also a great time for our
family as our oldest child is in her first year of college and away from
our. Our second child is preparing to
graduate from high school and then on to college. It is almost like we blinked, and before we
knew it I am 45 years old. That is not a
problem, but life is flying by.
That is why we must live life and take
the opportunities that God gives us. I
am grateful for the love of God and the love of the people that God has put in
my life.
Don’t miss the chances you are
given. Let the people around you know
that you love them. Accept the love of
God that He has for us. Unconditional
love. God accepts us. We can share that same incredible love with
others.
Happy Valentine’s Day. Have a great weekend!
