My weekend has been filled with many "I love you mommy's" and hugs and kisses from sweet OS #2 who turned 7 today! His love languages are acts of service, words of affirmation and physical touch! He was speaking loudly and letting us speak to him! Was awesome! I am smiling as I am sitting here (on my 2 feet strip on the left side of our king sized bed, that even when hubby is gone, I don't stray from, ever, I don't know why.. it's weird and even the boys make fun of me for it! lol) just thinking of him and his joy. That boy, he knows what love is and how to show it! NO DOUBT! Without sounding a bit boastful, can I say that wherever his future wife is tonight, God is preparing her to be loved by one of the most affectionate man ever???!!!
Today, I have thought alot about what love is and what it isn't... It isn't a feeling! It IS an ACTION! I can see all the love quotes that have been in my line of vision for the past week or so... Love is patient, Love is kind, from 1 Corinthians 13:4. Love is not affirmed by overpriced flowers and candy! Love is not stressing out about a holiday that makes you feel like you have to do something, that you should be doing 365 days a yr! Love is rubbing someone's back, big or small, while they throw up. Love is the look you offer someone, with the smile that goes with it, to let them know you love them, and it will all be ok! Love is what we are given with no strings attached from the most loving being of all time, God Himself!
Love is what I want spewing my entire being. Even when the ugly parts seep out sometimes, I want to quickly catch that and repair any damage with love. Love is not having to be acknowledged as being right, even when you are! ;) (This could cover a multitude of my chinks!!! lol) Love is ignoring flaws, even when they have the flashing light above them! Love is that piece of me that feels absolutely accepted and wonderful just knowing I am loved by the King. Knowing I can have every expectation in Him and never be disappointed with Him! Love is accepting His love in return and sharing that with others! ESPECIALLY those that live in my home, starting with STG, then all 3 OS, then everyone who comes in and out my door and in contact with me throughout my dailies! Love is being kind when everything around screams something else! Love is what I have with all of the men in my life, starting with God, then STG and then my OS, overwhelm me with and cause those leaky moments!!! I am one blessed chick... and obviously, I am His favorite... Just get used to it! ;) lol!!!
I don't need a holiday to remind me of all of the love in my life, but it sure does put everything into perspective. It makes me stop and peek around the flowers, balloons (which after 11 years, STG finally believes me that there is no mixed message when I say I don't want those things on V-day or Mommy's Day, don't get me wrong, I love me some flowers, I just much prefer a surprise!!!) and think about how blessed I have been to have all of the love I have in my life. My relationships are rich and true and deep.... All 365 days of the year!!! I just want to love the way He loves me and spread that out wherever He leads me! My heart breaks for those who are hungering for love deep in their bones! There is no greater feeling than being loved for just exactly who you are, and nothing more... A quenching that can only be satisfied from the pure source Himself...
In love!!!!
