Day 5 and to get this subject on this day is fitting. Today my grandson Matthew would have been 14 years old. We had him in our lives for a short 16 months. He was a precious, funny and smart little guy. Since he had a short life all he knew was the love of his family and then goes into the unconditional eternal love of our Heavenly Father. Matthew knew no rejection or hurt or fear. All he knew was love. That is what perfection in love is and here on earth we are too daily strive and move towards that perfect love within our hearts and lives. Human love is both selfish and unselfish, both idiotic and serious. Love is fighting and arguing and disagreements. But love is laughing and sharing and caring. Lifting your loved ones up when they are feeling down and hurt. Love is a commitment that takes work and sacrifice. David Phelps has a song called "That's What Love Is" that truly expresses what love means to me.
LYRICS
It's the only thing worth life and death
It's the first moment and the final breath
It's a broken heart keeping a solemn vow
And a lost soul being found
You pray for faith when it's hard to believe
You choose to stay when it's easy to leave
And when hope is gone you're the one who keeps holding on
Chorus
That's what love is
When you give until there's nothing left
And it makes you give the very best
That's what love is
It can make you laugh and make you cry
It can let you down and lift you up so high
When you find the only reason left to live
That's what love is
It's the dream you give up for someone else
It's being strong when you're weak yourself
Though it tears you up you trust again
Hatred loses and forgiveness wins
You turn your cheek when you want to fight
Sell all you have and lay down your life
And when hope is gone you're the one who keeps holding on
Chorus
Its reaching out and holding on so someone else will know
Love is in the not letting go
Chorus
