A wise lover values not so much the gift of the lover, as the love of the giver. Thomas A Kempis, Imitation of Christ [More]
Let's Talk About Love ...
Love one another as I have loved you. John 13:35
In Frank Sinatra's words, "Love and marriage. They go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell you brother. You can't have one without the other."
Do you believe any of that? If you do, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to read a good book about unconditional love. An excellent book on this subject is Unconditional Love by John Powell, S.J.
Are you a friend or a fiend? Can you categorically say that you are a true friend to your loved ones? Spouse? Children? Siblings? Parents? If you answered no or had to think before you answer, it is most important for you to read about unconditional love.
Does worry kill? The popular belief is yes! If that is so, then some of us may be responsible for the earlier than normal demise of our loved ones. What can we do about that? Simply make an extra effort to treat them well!
Be nice to your loved ones!
How? By the things you say and do. When? All the time. Where? Everywhere. Why? Because some people out there are willing to do otherwise. The absurdity is that most of them don't even know you or your loved ones.
What? You don't think so! You still believe that most people out there are really nice and if you treat them nice, they will treat you nice in return.
Well, I believe that too and I'm really happy that you believe it because there are many nice people out there. Sadly though, we both know that a few of them are not very nice. Those are the ones we have to be concerned about!
Remember the class bully? What about the road hog on the highway? Yes, the one who gave you the finger even though you still can't figure out what you did wrong.
In spite of all that, it is necessary for us to remember that every person is special in some way. Irene McDermott said it so eloquently, "You are a unique individual. No one has quite the same combination of gifts and abilities as you."
In today's world, it is imperative that we treat our loved ones like the special people they are. If we show them unconditional love in a consistent manner, they will be the happiest and most secure people in the world. This was true yesterday; it is true today and will be true tomorrow.
Remember the Golden Rule, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." Luke 6:31 & Matthew 7:12.
