Love Favorites

Now these three remain:
Faith, hope, and love
But the greatest of these is love. - I Corinthians 13:13

Many waters cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all of the wealth in his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. –Song of Solomon 8:7

Feelings fade, knowing last forever...
Feelings change, knowing stands fast…
Feelings betray you, knowing sustains you…
Feelings burn the fuel of love, knowing love creates it…
Feelings give you a ticket to the concert, knowing love creates the gift, inspires the artist to compose, stage and perform.

You want to know what love is…., you want to know it so well, that nothing can make me doubt it, oh nothing! Don’t trust in what you feel, go with what you know.

2KnEL – Too Know and Experience Lovee

Icy Blue Heart

Begin by loving again,
Begin by loving again;
when all that once mattered
Seems ruined and shattered,
then begin by loving again.

The Lord sometimes gives and sometimes takes away,
there’s happiness followed by pain;
but when hearts are breaking,
there’s joy for the taking
in learning to love once again...

Words by Theodore E. Morrow

Wishing everyone a very Happy Valentine’s Day!

Thank You 2008... Hello 2009!

Many people were very glad to be able to say good-by to 2008. For me it was Thank you! I am truly thankful to have lived through the entire year with all of its joys, heartaches, disappointments, happiness, sorrows, losses, gains, and many unexpected blessings along the way. I will always cherish the memories that only 2008 could give me. I am excited knowing that new memories are on the horizon in 2009. You see there is no such thing as a good year or a bad year… there is living life and no matter what you do or where you live or how much money you make or don’t make you are not insulated from experiencing many of the same things that took place the year before. Those experiences may be a lot less and not as intense this year then they were last year. And for some people that alone will cause them to conclude at the end of 2009 whether or not it was a “good” year or a “bad” year.

In life there will always be a time when you will experience joy, heartache, disappointment, happiness, sorrow, loss, gains and many unexpected blessings along the way. It is good to set goals, so go ahead and set some! And what ever you do don’t make any New Year resolutions…let’s be realistic and just live life!

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3-8)

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to heal, a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
