AIN'T LOVE GRAND

 

Some things irritate and some things bless.

 

One of the things that blesses my heart is to see an older couple as they walk hand in hand being attentive to one another.

 

My mind tries to trace their life back to the beginning and see them starting their courtship. There is a special excitement that accompanies that first real love that has a beauty of its own. The days of courtship and desire build up till longing can hardly be contained.

 

All the hindrances are put aside the moment he claims his lovely bride. This is a spiritual moment where the two of them and GOD meld the relationship into one unity never to be broken.

 

Sadly sometimes this requires a restart with the right one but when it is right it can be almost be as if it is the first time.

 

The years pass and love binds them together through the struggles of their early marriage and the raising of the kids.

 

All these stresses are no challenge to real love for their love conquers all. The love union produces the family which completes the love cycle and is the beginning of a new cycle.

 

Love mandates being there for the grandkids and being stable in all of their ways. This requires learning how to share their love to this new generation.

 

Time moves on but love remains and grows when and where it is possible and handles uncalled for rejection with patience and understanding.

 

Some never reach the acme of possibilities but even if that is so they still have an abundance of love just waiting to be released on some who is less worthy.

 

Immense Love is available for all from the one who loves us most.  For GOD loved the people of the world so much He made the supreme sacrifice for them. This love came forth with out conditions and is shed abroad for all to receive.

 

Getting back to the old couple I was enjoying as he was helping her through the door and watching over her. I surmised that it was no longer the youthful physical satisfaction that bonded them together, but their hearts desire to fulfill their life's cycle as one.
