But Above All, Love.

i have been thinking a lot lately about love. what is it that makes us feel loved? why does it vary so much from person to person? and since it does vary so much from person to person, how do we show others love if we don't know what being loved to them feels like? to one person saying kind words may make them feel loved when to someone else hugs may make them feel loved. how will we know how to show others that we love them? it's simple. just do. just do everything you can to show them, to tell them, so somehow let them know that you love them. it just confuses me so much why people don't love each other more often. how horrible would it be to go through life without knowing the kind of happiness that love can bring. i am so thankful i don't know that feeling. i am so blessed that i have so many people in my life that love me. if you somehow get led astray and forget how to love, remember 1 corinthians 13:4-8...

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

don't let the little things bother you.
look past them and see the beauty in the situation.
be happy. live. laugh. but above all, love.
