Love is …always there
It’s easy to see that love is in the good times! When a new baby is born, and friends and family flock to the new family, showering them with support (and often food! ) love is there. At a wedding love is there as we all gather to celebrate the new marriage by dancing, smiling, and supporting the new couple! When someone gets a promotion, has a birthday, or has a similar good experience love is there, giving a
high five, a birthday card, or just a simple smile! Yes, it is easy to see love in the good times!
Love is also in the everyday things. When your baby looks up at you with love in his/her eyes, and tells you how much they care. Love is when you hang out with your friends, and it is filled with laughter and great conversation. When a project goes well at work, and your boss takes the time to let you know they appreciate your hard work! You move across country, and just when you need it most you get a call
from a friend, or a card! Yep, love is definitely in the everyday things.
But sometimes life goes wrong, a tragedy happens, and you’re scared, heartbroken and you wonder where love is. That’s when love can show up in the most amazing ways. I am constantly amazed at how strong love shows up, when things are bad. Those that love you circle the wagons, and protect, and care for those that are hurt. I have seen prayer warriors’ staying up to all hours to hold a prayer night asking
God for a miracle only He can pull off. Witnessed friends step up and take kids for multiple days while one spouse cares for another spouse. Friends sitting with a mom and a sick child at a hospital, to show them that they are not alone! Love is supporting each other, lifting each other up, and being there to catch them when they have fallen to rock bottom. Love is there in the arms of a friend as you cry on
their shoulder, and express how much you hurt. Love is there sitting at a funeral, crying with you, and love is there even when you can’t see it.
Yes, I am sure love is always there!
