Valentines Day is tomorrow and, of course, Love is on my mind. If someone asked you what "love" is, what would be your reply? It is a deep affection. It is a feeling so deep that we don't have words to describe it. It truly is one of those emotions that is better felt than talked about.
It is hard to explain to others what you feel about those you love. However, if they love someone, they sort of know what you are talking about. Love reaches deep into our souls, into a place that is reserved only for the dearest. Of course, there are different degrees of love, which we talked about the other day. For those dearest to us, it is hard to explain to someone how deeply we truly care about them.
So, in that respect, and in recognition of Valentines Day, the word of the day is my feeble attempt at defining LOVE. "Love is sacrificing what you know you should, caring deeper than you thought you could, and going farther than you ever thought you would."
When you truly love someone, you will find that their happiness is more important than yours; that you are more concerned with their needs than yours; that your joy comes from theirs. In the words of the great American, Forrest Gump, "I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is."
Happy Valentines Day!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
