Love remains...

Just a thought...
Love is a life long journey.  It has soothed my soul and broken my heart.  It has changed my life and made life changes. It has kept me up all night and given me reason to arise each morning.  It has made me weep and laugh, hold on and let go, stand up and settle down, and always, always hope.  Love is simple yet complicated, tough and tender, powerful, peaceful, promising and passionate.  Love remains when all else is gone.

Parenthood is a journey of love, too.  As my abdomen grew, so did my heart.  Even before seeing our children, I knew I would give my life for them.  When they were first placed in my arms, my heart overflowed with love.  Decades later, my love for them has grown even more and will never cease.  The love I had for them before birth was special.  The love I have for them now has deepened far more than I could have ever imagined.  No matter what life brings, my love for them will always remain.

I never grasped the concept of God's love for us until I became a mother. Knowing the unlimited and unconditional love I have for my children has given me a mere taste of His love.  When nothing else makes sense on this journey, I know He still loves me.  Even if the world says I am unwelcome, unworthy or insignificant, I am reminded that His love changes everything.  His love...real love...never fails!<3~thl
