I ran into an old coworker name Claudio Nunez at Skyland Automotive last week. Claudio is a great guy, the kind that asks the type of questions that convince you that he really care and isn't just trying to make small talk or stroke your ego. I worked with Claudio when I purposed to my wife Meghan in Dec of 06. Claudio asked about her and my my son and then hit me with an intriguing and thoughtful question. He said Do you love your wife as much as the day you asked her to marry you. What a great question that most people don't ever ask. The type of question that makes you rip your heart open and sends your mind into a frenzy. Questions that deal with the heart require real the use of a different part of the brain. I replied no, I love her more than the day I asked her to marry me. You see this brilliant euphoric unexplainable gift called love, is simply a choice. I truly love my wife because I choose to and I choose to work on our relationship and pray for it. I also got to see what true love was when God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. Like us, God had a choice. He chose to send his son through hell on earth to die for us. Luckily death couldn't handle him. I think too many people in society think that love is the type of natural occurrence that happens in the utopian land of Hollywood. They think that feeling you have in the first two weeks of dating will last forever if you find the right person. News flash, it doesn't. The perfect person doesn't exist. Love is the hardest act that we live out on this stage called life. It does not come easy or gentle or agreeing, it is the hardest thing you as a human have to deal with. It is so strong it has destroyed peoples lives, while giving others new life. Moral of the story here is love is a choice. If you are smart you will realize this and love God and his children. He is the only one who knows are heart. At the end of the day I have a growing love for God and for my wife and son. My love for God and my family brings peace to my heart, joy to my life, and comfort as I lay my head on my pillow at night. Love makes the angels in heaven sing and the stars shine bright. Love is a choice, choose love.
God Bless!!!!!
