Love

Over the last two weeks I have learned a lot more about love. Here are some things I have learned.

• Even if you can't imagine it possible, you can love someone enough to clip their toenails.
• Cleaning up any mess you couldn't stomach thinking could happen in your home is easy and far from an imposition when you love someone.
• You don't mind not sleeping in when you love someone who is scared when they are awake and you are asleep.
• When someone you love wants something, you want it for them too.
• When you love someone your feelings don't get easily hurt by what they say or don't say.
• Your patience grows exponentially when you love someone.
• Your wants and wishes become secondary to those of the person you love.
• You start to appreciate the sacrifices others have made for you in life a lot more when it is your turn to make those sacrifices.
• God's love for me is even more unfathomable than I previously thought.
• God's love is the number one thing you want to share with someone you love...even if they don't want to hear it.
• When they don't want to hear it, it is even more important to make sure they can see it in you.

I hope that all those reading this can experience the joy, elation, and fulfillment that parenthood has to offer...even if for a very brief time like myself. It will definitely make you a better person if you allow it to do so!
