Selflessness

 Today is my Pops' birthday. He is in Heaven so we don't get to celebrate it with him but I celebrate him. Pops passed away almost seven (7) years ago, and I still miss him every day. 

When I think I of my Pops, a lot of things come to mind. He was a hard worker, a devoted husband and father, a hot head at times, an ornery ol' cuss, and the most selfless person I can ever remember. He would give you whatever he had, if you needed it.

Today's word is a quote I came across some time ago that simply says, "True love is selfless. It is always prepared to sacrifice."

I have mentioned before that we taught a youth lesson several years ago that true love is about giving: giving of yourself to another. If someone is always wanting from you, that is not true love. True love is when someone is willing to sacrifice for you.

On Pops' birthday, today, I am reminded of the sacrifices he made for his family and his example of giving. I love you Pops. Thank you for showing me true love and for being the example of selflessness.

Be Blessed,

Mickey T
