February "The Love Month"<"3"
Love is not always pretty, comfortable and "visually understandable" but just like a lady bug (love bug), or caterpillar it does hold and unexplainable appeal and magesty that when nutured and endured becomes undenyably Amazing, like a newly transformed butterfly launching into the clear blue sky for the first time. ~~88 ~~
How do you "show" an emotion or feeling that captivates your entire being? You decide to do it! and do it for the recipient. We all have those lists of wishes, desires and needs to be quenched like a thirst. The "job" of a lover is to attempt to meet those needs, grant the wishes AND desires (:0 ) Especially for married couples it is essential to be alittle creative and really determined to "warm up" the relationship by focusing on the desires while keeping the persons needs and love languages in mind. The study AND application of the principles of speaking our partners language and not our own has made the continuation of our marriage possible and palable (:0 ). Love Languages can be spoken in any relationship and if you apply the skills of discovering someones love language into ministry the results can truly expand into the eternal realm quickly. Christ used "love Languages" through his ministry, evident in how he "called" each person, "approached" them or "reproofed them to help restore them to the father". All of these works are of love and must contain love or the could damage, severe and DESTROY not only the relationship but the person.
Parenting in and of itself is the most ambious and long term expression of love. The world likes to tell us the term of engagement (much like a war) is 18 years and then "they are on their own", "should move out on their own" "the parenting is over". However, their is not an "ending" to loving this collection of DNA, thoughts, feelings, learned behaviors and habits. Love is for life...! (promise not a threat).
February is full of love for us and our extended family. And throughout the legacy our grandparents and parents have started, Chris and I hope to continue and pass onto Charles as the biggest and most precious gift we can give, our unending love and the confirmation of God's hand on our family and him.
Families that speak in love and in deed stay together forever...
