What is Love? How do I give Love?



“Love is the greatest thing on earth…” – Miracle Max

Love is the driving force in life – either the giving of it, receiving it, or acting out of a lack of it.  Love is the reason we choose what we do.  It is at the basis of everything.

Love is when you give of yourself to make someone else better.  Love is when you care.  Love is when you pay attention.  You give love by caring – caring about how someone else thinks, feels, sees and lives.  You give love when you listen.  You give love when you say hello.  You give love when you take time to take care of the little things that no one else sees.

You give love when you take care of yourself.  

You give love when you make sure those around you are fed, dressed and have their basic needs met.
You give love when you clean -- whether you are cleaning up after yourself or others, or simply because it needs to be done.  You give love when you take time to find out who made the mess and teach them to clean up after themselves.  

You give love when you train your children in the fine art of living life.

You give love when you take care of your husband’s need and wants.  You give love when you notice what he lacks, without him having to ask.

You give love when you hold the door for a stranger, or smile, just for the sake of smiling.

You give love when you write.  You give love when you draw.  You give love when you sew.  You give love when you crochet or knit.  You give love when you give of yourself wholeheartedly.

You do not give love when you do it for the return.  Then your motives are selfish, and that is what you will draw to yourself, in return.
