Love Is...

LOVE IS...

...accepting each other, good aspects and bad

...being forgiven and being willing to ask for forgiveness

...bringing a child into this world

...not just saying "I do"

...a verb

...not easy

...a wonderful journey, even with its ups and downs

...kind

...paradise when you're together

...in the air

...for sharing

...patient

...all around us

...being tucked into bed

...a glass of water and Tylenol when you have a head ache

...coming home to a clean house and dinner on the table

...doing something without being prompted

...sharing your half of the bed (but not for the interstate highway of death)

...a good friend

...what makes the world 'go round'.

Why?

Why does God keep His timing such a secret?

Why am I so indecisive?

Why do I fear something that may never happen?

Why do doctors gag at the sight of blood?

Why me?

Why does God choose to be so mysterious?

Why do pregnant women crave odd things?

Why does my dog follow me around 24/7?

Why can't we decide on a middle name for a girl?

Why do I find storms so scary?

Why do some adults become boring?

Why can't we all stay kids at heart?

Why does life have to be so rough for some and easy for others?

Why do people allow their leg to get caught between a tractor and a pulverizer?


Why, and more specifically, how does laundry pile up so fast?

Why are their fingerprints on my office window?

Why am I terrified?

Why don't I let my fear show?

Why am I craving Bread Basket?
