Love Will Save the Day.

So tonight is the eve of my parents 25th anniversary, and it has got me thinking, about love. What love means, what is it restricted to, and how do people stay in love.

Although their are "studies" which suggest love cannot last longer then 7 years, I know this is false. You know when you watch a movie, and you see two people look at each other, and you know it must be love. That is what I see when I look at my grandparents, and the way my grandfather still winks at me, then teases my nan, and the way every Sunday he makes her breakfast, whether it is a burnt piece of toast, that is not the point, it is that he is showing her he cares.

My parents have been through a lot over the past few years, and instead of letting the hardships bring them down, it has made their relationship stronger, and it is wonderful to see. My dad is so giving and caring, and my mom is loving and ambitious and together, they blend so well.

So after saying all this, I still did not answer, What is love?

Well, there are many different types of love, but in all of them Love is this :

Love never gives up.

Love cares more for others than for self.

Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.

Love doesn't strut,

Doesn't have a swelled head,

Doesn't force itself on others,

Isn't always "me first,"

Doesn't fly off the handle,

Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,

Doesn't revel when others grovel,

Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

Puts up with anything,

Trusts God always,

Always looks for the best,

Never looks back,

But keeps going to the end.

Love is the most powerful entity that there really is, that is why it can build you up, but when broken completely destroy ones being. God is love-- he will never fail. His love will never fail, when everything else is gone, and you seem lost, He will remain.

Love is not just for the "lovers" it is for friends, brothers, sisters. I believe love is not something that is easy, you have to work to maintain it, and keep it up. If we could live through love, we would truly find peace and comfort in our own lives.
