Love Is

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 No matter how you look at it, love truly is one of life's greatest gifts. Valentines Day has and probably always will be one of my favorite times of year. Even when I was single, I still looked forward to the holiday. I greatly enjoy sitting back and watching others as they show their love and compassion toward another. Love is a beautiful thing, if you just open your eyes and pay attention to it. There is no other stronger force between two beings. Love can also either make you or break you. Either way, in my eyes, its always better to have loved. One of my favorite activities is people watching. I enjoy sitting back and watching elderly couples. I love seeing how fragile hands intertwine with one another. Love is a spectacular thing, and I am blessed in the fact that my heart belongs to another. Love can be found in the simplest of things...a smile, a look, a touch. It's not something that can ever be bought and to me is more precious than anything in this world. Love is powerful. Love will make you do things you never thought you would do before. Love has no limits or boundaries. Love is a bond like no other. It is an unconditional commitment to another. Love isn't just a decision, it's a promise. Love doesn't judge you, but instead chooses to embrace the mess we really are. Love is wanting wants best for someone, even if it doesn't include you. It's looking into another's eyes and feeling completely safe. Love is acceptance. Love is hopeful. Love is a friend. Love is an encourager. Love is kindness. Love is gentleness. Love is patient. Love truly is a blessing. Love is being there for someone, even when they have let you down time and time again. Love is forgiveness. Love is holding each others hands, back rubs, and wiping away tears. Love is laughter. Love is faithful. Love is magical. Love is safety. Love is comfort. Love is emotional. Love is affectionate. Love is fearless. Love is... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
