What2Say2Day? Yesterday I took an extra day off from most electronics, sort of a Sabbath part 2. I spent the day in church and with my wife and tried my best to rid any built up stress. It worked! I feel rested and ready to face the week.
What may have helped as well is going to visit my mother-in-law's resting place. For some reason I had a very strong urge to go visit her and my father-in-law's grave site. When I got there I said hello to them, as my wife and I always do, then I spent a little private time with them to let them know I'm trying my best to provide for their daughter and to be the best husband I can.
Now, I won't pretend to be someone who can talk with the dead, but I will tell you after I said those words to them I heard a voice come back and ask if I loved her. I immediately said yes. Actually, more like YES! And the little voice in my head said that's all she needed.
Isn't that true of us all. Love is what we crave for. We'll take it in any form from anyone and that sometimes gets us in trouble, especially if that love being given has conditions. You know what I mean - "If you love me then you would..." or, "If you do this I know you love me." Love has no ifs; it has no buts it has no maybes.
Love has just that, love. The truth that I will do what I can for you as well as the truth that whatever you do for me is perfect. It's the respect to accept that we are where we are in life. And wherever that is perfect for us. Jesus came to this world to teach us that all God wants is for us to love each other unconditionally, it really is that easy.
