  • LOVE

    The key to happiness is not being loved, but having someone to love.  ~Annonymous

    Love is a verb. ~ DC Talk

    Love is the irresistible desire to be desired irresistibly. ~Robert Frost

    To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.  ~C.S. Lewis

    I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine. ~ Song of Solomon 6:3

    I have found the one my soul loves. ~ Song of Solomon 3:4

    And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:13

     

    These are a few love quotes that I am very fond of and wanted to share. Many have poetically written about love in poems, songs, and books. One of my favorite books, A Grief Observed was actually C.S. Lewis's journal he kept after his wife died. I've read that book many times and yes it makes me cry. I thought wow to find a man who loves a woman like that! That's what I want! It is also a book about a man wrestling with his maker through grief. It is honest and gut wrenching. I appreciate that kind of honesty and realness. Alot of us gals, grow-up with the dreams of being a princess and living happily ever after. But, life is not always happily ever after. Life is more like the marriage vows for better or worse. What I have come to find is that instead of hoping for a perfect love with your mate it is better to have a love that conquers all. I am so blessed to have a husband who truly loves me and weathers the storms of life with me. For better and worse. In sickness and in health.

    Peace, love, & Jesus,
