Love is a verb



Love is action displayed without expectation.

Love happens unconditionally.

Rough day? Love.

Arguments stirred by emotion? Love.

Fear, doubt, worry? Love.

Love is the ground that we as a couple walk on.

No matter the pains that life may bring us, nothing ever beats our love for one another.

On my darkest days, I know I can count on his love. And on his, he can count on mine.

We show up whenever we possibly can and just love.

There’s no running tally of who has loved the most. Or whose turn it is to love this time.

Love is not 50/50… it is 100/0.

Giving your absolute all with no expectation from the other.

It’s not easy, it’s a true commitment and takes true understanding and compassion.

It’s constant work —> helping each other through the storm to self realization.

Together we empower each other.

But I do not look to him to meet my needs. Nor does he look at me to meet his.

We simply are. We simply do. And we simply be. Loving and serving every step of the way.

Eliminate “I’m fine” out of your vocabulary

Eliminate “I’m fine” out of your vocabulary with the ones you love.

When we give the same answer to a loved one that we do a stranger,

We are shutting ourselves out from the chance to grow a deeper connection with someone who is genuinely trying to show up for us.

FINE is not a true answer. Dig deep about what you’re feeling. What’s the truth?

Give the people around you the chance to be there.

And allow yourself to let go of any bad feelings…

Feelings don’t last forever.

Shout out to #noramcinerny for her time and energy at Bryn Athyn’s #newchurchlive (aka my second home) about this time last year.

These were some notes from her talk.

So blessed and grateful for her kind words and infectious personality. Check out Nora’s ted talk on grief it’s so worth the watch!
