How do you love me....let me count the ways...



It seems as though we go through life wondering if our mates, our children, and our friends love us. We feel insecure about the other people in our lives, and we're not sure where we stand. Even though we tell and show the people in our lives that we love, them they don't seem to catch the answer because they're always reaching out to test our love for them.

Sometimes our children wear crazy clothes, put rings in their ears, tattoo their body's, become involved in same sex act, or use foul language to see if we really love them. Yes, relationships bonded by love has a price.... not always to the extreme, but a cost of time, energy, commitment, money, and devotion.

 Selfish people take without giving back, but a true lover of your smile will always be giving and giving and giving. Is there someone in your life who is asking this very basic question..." Do you love me?" What is your reply? Let your family know again that you love them. Look them straight in the eyes... and say it " Yes.. I do .. love you! Let your words and actions show those around you that you love them..

I once heard someone say, "...a man would rather a woman EXPRESS they respect them vs. hearing a woman SAY they love them" and I wondered how could that be possible? But, the more I thought of it...it made perfect sense.  LOVE is an action word.  Not only do we speak the existence of love, but we express it through our actions.....

Although love is an action....and we go through great lengths to SHOW our love....it can still reflect as an uncertainty.  Why? Because everyone has their view of what love SHOULD BE. For example...most women like to HEAR the words, "I love you".... Most men like to SEE expressions of love... and most children determine the degree of love by how much time you spend with them and on them.  How will you know which applies? lol You won't!

There will always be tests of love....there will always be uncertainty....no matter how hard u try...no matter how far you extend urself....but at the end to the day....the people you love and who love you most, will appreciate and know WITHOUT DOUBT, that you truly LOVE them.
