In an effort to keep from dwelling on what I don't have (i.e. being grateful), I will dwell on what I do have.
I've Got Love...
No one in my life is perfect.
That's cool. Neither am I.
But that's what Love sees, the perfect imperfections, and decides to stick around anyway.
I have parents and a brother, who I love to the moon and back, and they love me back. I have a beautiful little boy who, because of his mama, my niece, I am Titi to. And HIS Love? So Amazing to me. (P.S. and his mama is my light and love. Love you, Pook.) The Word calls this "storge" love. It is family love.
I have friends, REAL friends, who despite my flaws and theirs, still manage to show a girl love, and it comes right back to them. This is "philos" love - the love one has for brothers and sisters.
Right now, I don't have anyone who is romantically invested in me, YET. But, I do have hope that he's on his way. This is "eros" love - the love between a man and a woman.
But the most amazing love story that I have in my life is this one: when I had nothing, He gave me everything. When I was lost, He found me. When I was desperate and in despair, He gave me hope and joy. And most importantly, when I thought I wasn't worthy, He said, "You are, because I AM." He loved me when no one else would or could have.
Best. Love. Story. EVER! That is "agape" love - the love that God has for all of us, and best of all, it is UNCONDITIONAL!
So, in the words of Babyface, "if we've got nothing else, We've Got Love."
Press "Play".
