A Wrinkle In Time

[2-12-08] Today is my grandparents 63rd wedding aniversary. I’m amazed! 63 years of marriage is my life-time, times three! Wow, that’s a long time. Not many couples mean it when they say “I do.” Because they don’t! “…till death due us part” doesn’t happen much anymore either. I’m proud of my grandparents. They inspire me to love. They teach me how to love and they reflect Christ’s love.
Today is valentine’s day! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I know that some people call this day “Single’s Awareness Day” and a lot of people don’t enjoy this holiday for that reason, but I’ve been single for every Valentine’s day during my life-time so far and that hasn’t ever really bothered me because even though I don’t have that “significant other” to celebrate this lovely holiday with, I know that I have a “Significant Family” to celebrate with and their love for me is more than enough. Besides that the creator of everything that exsists loves me and that gives me reason to celebrate this special holiday of love. I’ve been thinking about love and wondering, what motivates me to love the people that I love? And why are some people easier to love then others? Sometimes I think my love is self-ish. Because when I think about the people that I love, I realize that I love them for their titles/who they are to ME, for what they do for ME, for how they make ME feel, etc. I know that love shouldn’t be about ME! So if I don’t love others for my self-ish reasons then why do I love them? Well we love because we are made to love people and God calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. There are days when I wish that we could just take that “neighbors” literally because then I wouldn’t have to love anybody if I didn’t want to, but then I think about what life would be like without love and I change my ways of thinking. God’s love is different then ours. He doesn’t love me because of my title, but for his title. He loves me because of who he is. There’s nothing I’ve done or can do to rightfully deserve his love, and he tells me that nothing can separate me from it.
The love that I have for my family is like diahrea, it never ends. My family is like a favorite pair of shoes. There’s two sides to a family (Hooeys/Durkins), there’s two feet (right foot/left foot), and there’s two shoes (right shoe/left shoe) to wear on those two feet. Haha Anyways, my point is that these shoes of mine are comfortable to wear and they fit good. God created them to fit just right. They were made for me and I was made for them. They walk me through the good times and run me through the bad times and even though we are all imperfect individuals when we come together we make the perfect family.

Live, Laugh, LOVE, and eat Chocolate!
