Let Me Count the Ways

 

Tis the season of love, celebrating love with notes, treats, or trinkets. Combing the internet for just a few minutes will reveal that we don't all see love the same way.


What is true love?
To me, true love is:

• a commitment.
• a sacrifice.
• putting someone else before yourself.
• an action.
• an attitude of the heart.

We can all be blessed to know true love, for it is found in Jesus. {I John 4:8}

For anyone blessed to have received true love from another human being, then might I suggest you thank them? Don't wait until Valentine's Day, or any other particular day. Tell them today, right now, in your own way and with your own words.
~ Dorie




A Valentine to My Husband

To The Drummer: You don't know Pyle from Wyeth. Yet, you still travel miles to see their works hanging on walls with me.   When I paint or draw a picture, you frame it for all to see.   You have never read a word written by Austen, but you gift me with her complete works and the BBC movies I watch time and time again with you at my side.   When I forget dinner, you help me find a solution and a meal.   Though I have no promise of ever finding a beat or rhythm, you still dance with me to our favorite songs.   When I pen words, you read them, which is why I know you'll see these words soon...   For these and the many other countless ways which you show me your love, I am grateful.   I love you, Dorie

 

 

 

*The mushy, more serious Valentine is private, people!
