Fall in love for real (read all 2 entries…)
Came across a little dose of clarity this morning

I don’t think anything could be more true about love.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
-1 Corinthians 13:4-8

It has occurred to me that perhaps I have already reached my goal of “falling in love for real”. Because I have this kind of love with some people. They are my friends. They are the people that I might not spend the rest of my life with in any way, shape or form. We might lose touch after I go to college, or maybe after I graduate and find a job somewhere else and a place somewhere else. Which I can’t imagine happening because I want my kids to go to that church and that school that I was never lucky enough to go to.
But I might have already reached this goal. Because I do love these people, who are my family in all but DNA, with all the biblical characteristics of love. I love this group with a love that I pray will never fail and will never be below the one and only true standard of love.

I have discovered the perfect description of love. My question to myself is, do I have this kind of love in my life? Am I living this out?

Real Love?

Real love…..First of all, the scripture you began with is a perfect description of what love should be….your post is beautiful and heartwarming…...I was divorced a year ago from the man whom I thought was the love of my life. We met when I was 18 and were together every single day for nineteen years. We had two beautiful children together and although we had ups and downs just like everyone else in life, we lived an “almost” perfect life…..until he found someone else. So, was it real love? When I look at my children and see aspects of him that I loved, is it still there?

I began dating about four months ago and within a month I met someone who stirs my soul in ways my ex-husband never did. The problem, we both have so much baggage from our divorces that whether or not we can overcome the fear and live is a huge question.

Real love…...I use to believe in happily ever after, now, I just thank God for the love I have today. Tomorrow, well, it just might not exist and happily ever after may only be tonight.
