CHAPTER 2, PAGE 2

I love you today, where you are and as you are.

You do not have to be anything

but what you are for me to love you.

I love you now; not sometime when you are worthy,

but today when you may need love most.

I will not withhold my love, or withdraw it.

There are no strings on my love, no price.

I will not force it upon you when you are not ready.

It is just there, freely offered, with both hands.

Take what you want today. The more you take,

the more there is. It is good if you can return love;

but if you cannot today, that is all right too.

Love is its own joy.

Bless me by letting me love you today.

GOOD MORNING !

The truest form of love anywhere is that unconditional love we give without any strings. It’s hard to find and often non-existent. Any parent will know about it and certainly any one who believes in God can tell you about it.

I know that no matter what each and every one in my family knows they don’t have to be perfect for me to love them. Goodness only knows I’m far from perfect myself.

I think the main thing we must remember is to tell those we love that we do love them and do it often. And speaking of those we love…

We had some grand news yesterday ! My Dad was released from the hospital and is now at home. My sister that is his caregiver is there with him and hopefully it will be no time til he’s gained his strength back. I’ll be spending some time with him this weekend as always.

It’s finally Friday and the end of a very long week. I ‘m soooo glad.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty -- they merely move it from their faces into their hearts.

Martin Buxbaum

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