Definitions of Love
Your boyfriend telling you that you eat too many sweets, then pulling Reese’s Pieces out of his pocket for you at the movies.
Your seven month old niece’s face...you can be in the foulest mood, but when you see her face light up like a Christmas tree when she sees you....and when she smiles that smile...it makes all the bad things in your day go away...
Your older nieces creating a cheer for you about how great of an aunt you are to them....
Your co-worker handing you a card on Valentine’s Day telling you you have become a dear friend to her...
Your mother coming to comfort you during a crying jag about stress or love or life...
Your 14 year old cousin imitating Prince and making you laugh so hard your side hurts....he does it just it put a smile on your face...
The brother who pestered you as a child now giving you regular hugs when he greets you....
The sister who is very thankful that you have been an important part of her life...who is now all grown up and even doing things for you...
The students who try to calm and quiet the class down when they notice the teacher is a bit overwhelmed...the ones who help you at the drop of a hat and genuinely miss you when you are gone...
A grandma who still looks in on you even though you are not a child anymore...asking if you are eating well and praying for you when you get on an airplane...
The pet who loves you unconditionally....You can frown and say “bad dog”..and they will still come up to lick you and love you...
A family gathering of laughs and jokes and music and forgiveness of past things gone wrong....
The love you have for your God....thanking him for what he gives you....praying to him for what he can help you through...
