Love

Yesterday was my second wedding anniversary. I have been going through my old My Space blogs and found one that helped to remind me of why I'm so happy now.... I hope you enjoy:

1 Corinthians 13 is read at most weddings. "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 trust, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.......and now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

How often do we really listen to the verses? Do we treat our spouses with that kind of love? Love is one of the hardest things to show someone. Sometimes, we don't exactly succeed like we wish we could. I really think that after 5 or 6 years of marriage, the wedding ceremony should be repeated....not all of the flowers, dress...yada, yada yada.....but actual ceremony, so that the couple can listen to those words again. Are they still loving their spouse the way they should? It is SO hard. Love is hard work, and takes more than I think we give. If you think it is easy to be patient, your insane and have never had a true relationship.

Look at all relationships and look at the verses. I really think if you try to follow what they say, you will have a wonderful relationship, not only with your loved one, but also with God, which seems to be the most important relationship of them all.

Have a wonderful and blessed day!!

Trust

Trust is a big word. Trust is vital in all relationships, be it friendships, or more than that. I know in the past, I haven't been the most trustworthy person, but that is something that I have changed over the past few years and worked hard to rectify. Look at your life ane see how trustworthy you have been. I'm sure there is room for improvement. Look at the relationships you are in. Can you trust your friends or that special someone? Can they trust you? If not, it's time to examine those relationships.



As I said, I have worked on being a trustworthy person and I feel that I have achieved that through a great deal of introspection and prayer. I have looked at my realtionships and unfortunately, I have had to let go of friends, or people who I thought were friends, because of their lack of trustworthiness. It's heartbreaking to think that the people who we were closest to, would be that way. We are better for it. Less stress.



Today, look within yourself and ask yourself if you can trust your friends and yourself.



God Bless
