Love

Today people across this country are celebrating Love. Oh, they sounds so poetic and beautiful, those three words "I Love You". Roses and chocolate are given as tokens of affection and it seems everyone is loving someone, then there's some odd number of people who spend today alone and isolated from the whole thing. Some choose to ignore that Love is even a real emotion and its all just a big marketing scheme. Ok, I have to give them credit here, alot of Valentine's Day is commercial, but the idea behind Love is not. Love is so much more than that between boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife, its more than kisses and chocolate love is saying "I want this, but someone else..." its about thinking about other people before ourselves. Love is patient, kind, humble, selfless, in short love is everything about God.

So what do I love? I love Rese's Penut Butter Cups, I love Underoath, I love hot summer nights, I love NYC... and the list goes on, but do I really LOVE any of these things? Would I give up everything I had for a Peanut Butter Cup? NO! lol, and if I did would probably be reallllllly hungry, huh? Well, I think this is one of the things we get ttly wrong in American dating relationships... we use the word "love" equally as we describe our boyfriend and hott shoes. God created this emotion of love to be so powerful, but do we really know what we love? If you truely love someone you would give your everything to make them happy. I think today thats what I'm gonna do today (instead of drowning myself in a flurry of choclate) I'm going to think about what and who I really love. My mom and dad, my lil brother (Mohawk an all.... don't ask), my Jesus, this is what I love.
