The world owes me nothing, it doesn’t revolve around what I feel and what I think. There is a bigger picture!

I may not be the most important thing in the world, but for some reason, someone gave me the chance to let me know that I am loved. Somewhere along the way, someone believed it was important that I knew I was loved. That is something I should never ever take for granted.

Love comes in many forms. Today, it came in the form of steamed fish in the dead of the night.

Softness

I seek my identity in toughness – but it is Morrie’s softness that draws me, and because he does not look at me as a kid trying to be something more than I am, I relax.

6/12: Debbie Turns 19

Your birthday is special because it is the only one when we are all together! It is also special because it is the celebration of who you are to me, and to us. The good times, the bad times, the really embarrassing prepubescent experimental stages. Thanks for being one of my most honest and down-to-earth friends, I always look up to you in that area! I love you dear friend!

Waking Up

Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behaviour from their parents.

Mostly what God does is love you.

Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us, but to give everything of himself to us.

Love like that.

Ephesians 5:1-2, The Message

Love

Three special gifts – faith, hope and love come straight from God above.
Both faith and hope are great – however, God’s greatest gift is love!
