If I’m reading George Orwell’s words correctly, he seemed to believe that love and understanding are exclusive of one another. And yet, I find that the people who love me the best are also the very ones who take the time to understand me … the real me. Or is it that the ones who understand me the best are …
So here’s the question: Who do you show up for? Another question: How do you show up for the people you love? One more question for today: Who taught you the importance of showing up? And that’s all I’ve got for today. As my friend, Mary, said this morning when I told her I’d pushed SEND on my manuscript: “You …
When my husband and I were first married, we had very different views when it came to money. If the bills are paid — and they always were — and there was no money left in the bank, as far as Rob was concerned, we were fine. Nowadays, there’s always money left in the bank. When we were first married … well, that …
One of my favorite things about the Christmas season is the music. I love all kinds of Christmas songs: White Christmas Carol of the Bells Silent Night Frosty the Snowman Straight No Chaser’s take on the Twelve Days of Christmas Pentatonix’s take on Mary Did You Know? Amy Grant’s I Need a Silent Night I could go on and …
Love is a choice. I’ve heard that phrase so many times that it can slip past me like a will-o’-the-wisp. I nod my head in a “yes, that’s true” kind of fashion … but I don’t acknowledge the truth of the words. The challenge inherent in them. Sometimes you must choose to love … and in doing so, you …
Sometimes loving someone means not saying anything. Sometimes silence is sacrificial … you give up all your right answers for the sake of someone else’s need to be valued. You choose not to stifle their pain with words, words, and more words. Love should always be safe. When you tell someone you love them, in a very real sense you are …
There’s so much I love about this quote from author Becky Wade’s novel, Undeniably Yours. (And yes, there is a cowboy in the story. His name is Bo.) But I digress. Back to the quote. At some point, we are all are knocked off kilter by love. Love for another person. Love for our country. Love for a family pet …
I’ve heard Oscar Wilde’s quote before. The real question is: How would I answer the question? Have I put my bank balance above an intangible but oh-so-powerful emotion? Have I squandered the feelings of another … or underestimated the value of loving someone? The real question for today is this one: Who are you going to make wealthy today … …
I want to expound on Thomas Merton’s quote — but really, he’s spoken the truth so eloquently. Love is letting others be. It’s not some twisted you-look-like-me-and-I-look-like-you relationship where there’s no emotional breathing space. And sometimes we don’t understand the truth that love begins when I’m me and you’re you until we’ve spent too many years pretending to be someone we’re …
I’ve come across many a “Love is …” attempt to define an emotion that is, in essence, undefinable. Even the “Love is patient, love is kind … ” distillation so often read during wedding ceremonies, often stumps me before I get very far into the verses in 1 Corinthians 13. Love is patient … kind … it does not envy …
