lessons in love…
… Or how I am learning to be a better person.
Oftentimes we use “I love you” to express our affection and admiration for those that are close to us… What I never realized until these recent months is that sometimes love cannot be contained within that phrase. Sometimes *love* is an emotion and action on a much grander scale. “love is not a feeling, it is an ability.” (courtesy of Dan In Real Life”) …
Love has become something in my life that I have been encouraged to work for, move with, and become a part of. For some reason unknown to me, the Lord has blessed me with sweet friends… Friends whom I wonder if their sole purpose in life is to teach me how to be loved and how to love in return. All in all, it appears that I am learning these lessons as they come, the hardest being that when true love is at its peak, words and even actions may never be able to encompass the vast field this affection for someone covers. While simplistic in nature, love is such a complex and divine emotion that one such as myself can only be empowered to act…to do anything within reach that I think will somehow convey even the slightest bit of how I feel.
And all though there are many, many friends that have this influence on me, the days of late have been most greatly packed with love with these two sweet souls:
look at how pretty you are
Kaneischa, that was so sweetly and carefully thought out. You have a wonderfully talented and positive way for writing with expression and depth! I really enjoyed reading it. It made me think of the comment “to teach me how to be loved”. I have many feelings about that in my own life, and understand what is in those words for you. I love you daughter, and appoligize for not embracing with that as you grew into a beautiful young woman :)
the boys look like they are wearing lipstick, hmmm…I wonder…nah. :)
Good pic of all 3!
