Dare to Love?

A few days ago a young friend asked me - "What is your new year resolution?" I didn't take but a moment to answer. I had been thinking of it for a few weeks now. "To Love better" I said with a grin as if just the words exiting my mouth made them magically come true. NOT. Oh if it were only that easy!

You know that feeling that bubbles within when your toddler throws herself on the floor in a tantrum at the check out stand at Target, or when a Humvee cuts you off in traffic as if the road is his backyard, or your spouse steps over the basket of laundry that you strategically placed by his side of the bed, because he still believes in the "laundry fairy". I can assure you that feeling is not love.

However, a truth has taken root in my heart. A simple yet profound truth. And I wish for it to reflect in my life - in my thoughts, in my words and in my actions.

That truth - LOVE NEVER FAILS.

You see, love is compounding in nature. It does not sit back and not act. It does not withhold. It does not go forth without effect. Love does not end.

Its going to be a challenge but not impossible.

I hope to post a small love note everyday (pray for me). Please leave comments and suggestions and even better join with me.

Dare to love?
