Food for Thought

... There are moments in life when you really miss someone. And you wish you could just pluck them from your dreams... and just hug them for real. If someone loves you, love him / her back. If someone hurts you, love him / her back unconditionally. The irony is not that love hurts sometimes; it’s the fact that the cut of each is felt equally as deep.


The best kind of friend is the one that you could sit on a porch and swing with, and never say a word... then get up and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had. It’s also true that you never know what you’ve been missing until something or someone else arrives. It’s true that you never know what you’ve got until you lose it... a careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word usually wrecks a life. Timely words help level stress. But, it’s loving words that heal and bless.


The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything in life... perhaps they’re just good at making the best of most everything that life brings along their way. Tender moments aren’t really tender at all. They are some of the few times... when things like pride and gender are swallowed and you allow yourself emotional, spiritual, and physical happiness. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. It’s even more painful to love someone and... never find the courage to let that person know just how it is you feel.


Never say goodbye if you still want to try. Never give up when there’s hope to go on. Never say you don’t love them... if you know that you’re the one that can’t let go. You’ve experienced true love if: you’ve taken away the feelings, taken away passion, and taken away romance... only to find that after all that, you still care. Giving love is no assurance love will be returned. So don’t expect it. Wait for it to grow in the other’s heart... just in case it doesn’t, be content in knowing that the love was able to grow in yours. 


If you have God in your life, food on your table, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, reasonable income and, love and faith in your heart... be happy and glad. For anything else that life can offer is nothing more than La-La-La...
