How about talking about something today that most of us (i guess) relate to in a myriad of ways?? I told you sometime ago about how i felt the previous two months have been kind of a transition period for me.It seemed to me i was graduating from one level (of understanding) to another and the funny thing is i may not even pinpoint this to a clear cut area. What 'm trying to say is there have been many lessons to learn and oops..some of them haven't been particularly pleasant but i imagine a seasoned teacher would tell you that's all part of the deal..part of the learning process. Any how back to the main point. I pray you pick it up as you read along because this aint no essay..meaning no intros, no nothing. Just read along.

Question: Ever loved somebody? I bet a million of you will answer in the affirmative. Yes. We all love somebody out there. Its such a great thing to love. I remember when i was a kid (5, 6, yrs old) , i loved mama so much (of course i still love her as much) that the first thing i did sometimes in the morning was run into her room..say hello and play an imaginary guitar...quite an expression, huh? And she would smile at me..probably at my innocence.Now I'm 23 and alot has obviously changed. I stay far away from my aging mom. I only see her in those old pictures..and in my dreams as well. I may no longer play that imaginary guitar for her early on Saturday morning but i still feel the same way...my heart hasn't changed a single bit.

Whats the price of love? I would say its priceless. God has put the great gift of love into our hearts (i said a GIFT) - so that we may 'give' it away (after all what are gifts for?!). Love will NEVER die. Even when all has been swept away; when all has changed and mutated...Love remains. Little wonder God is Love!Thats just enough diction to accurately describe him in a single word! He stays the same even when we wander far away from him; when we change our mind about him..his arms are always wide open. When you look closely, our earthly experiences have alot to teach us about God. The story i just told you about me and Mom has alot to educate me about the love of God. When your are giving some love..you are 'giving God' to someone! For those who are married (or on the way to marriage), let that affection and love you have toward each other point you to God...it should bring you CLOSER to him not take you APART from him. This is a profound truth...make it your own today!
