CHAPTER 11, PAGE 28

If the people we love are taken from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die but real love is forever.

GOOD MORNING !

Today I’m thankful for all the wonderful memories that I have of the Love of my Life. This day in 1992 he went home to our Lord in Heaven

Not so many of us have the opportunity to live in love with our spouse. While all marital journeys have moments of difficulty, we did all that we were able to pour all of our positive energy into our relationship – so that the love which we had was fostered, treasured, and built up. I was so truly blessed.

Today I pray,for married couples to model to their children, and to the world that being married is a chance to create something amazing. Let them show that their spouses are special and so deserving of the love that they are offering to them.

Thought For Today

 Love Defined!

LOVE, a noun, as defined by the silly and the sentimental...is....

* man's grand delusion that one woman differs from another;

* a sea of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses;

* something they say is blind; it's marriage which is the real eye opener;

* that emotion which is not true until returned;

* what rich countries have in common with the residents of all third-world countries;

* is like measles; much worse when it comes late in life;

* the only fire for which there is no insurance;

* an emotion, even if unreturned, has its rainbow;

* the only game that two can play and both win;

* the last and most serious of the childhood diseases;

* what makes marriage possible; habit makes it last;

* is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise;

* a disease like measles, we all have to go through it;

* the tie that blinds; * consists of happiness, given back and forth;

* that which makes the world revolve;

* a situation which happens when you think almost as much of another as you do of yourself;

* is a fan club with only two members;

* the only virtue that can be divided endlessly and still not be diminished;;

* a strange feeling that comes over a man; when he keeps wanting to call a girl by his last name;

* is like the action similar to an hourglass: the heart fills as the brain empties;

* a situation; when it is true, does not mean gazing into each other's eyes, but looking outward together in the same direction as life beckons;

* something which combines the two greatest powers on earth; war and peace;

* the balm that heals the wounds that words make.

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
