Love


We are here to love the one we are with at all times. That is all. We are here to love the one who is given to us as a gift in the moment. I am not talking about anything sexual. I am talking about what it means to be fully human. We are here to love. Love means taking care of those who can't take care of themselves. It means cleaning up a mess with someone when you had nothing to do with the mess. Love means when someone we know needs us at 3 in the morning we don't ignore the phone call, we go to them, and comfort them. Love means setting the table for one or two more on a day which has been set aside for family. It means opening your home to a child in need. It means visiting someone who no one wants to see. In a nutshell, love means giving the other what they need in the moment they need it especially when we just don't want to. We do it because they need something, and we can give it. Love is the most powerful thing we can do at any one moment. Love can save a life and change the world in a moment. We are created to love. We are created to do big things. Love of other and all is the most powerful thing we all can do right now.
