Love & Crayons

Love is like a box of crayons....it comes in so many colors, some break, some get all used up, some have to be sharpened with that really cool crayon sharpener on the back of the box. I feel sometimes that all my crayons have been broken into little unusable pieces, unfit for coloring anymore. But then, I remember that show I saw that tells me how I can still use them. I am to melt all the crayons and make one LARGE multi-color crayon...now I have a rainbow of a crayon to share with those around me. Or to give to one boy and his dog to go scribble in the walls with!

I do not know a more deserving person than my boy and his dog to recieve my rainbow crayon, it is all the little bits of who I am, what I love, the things I see and hear. I will gladly share it with him and watch the beautiful, intricate, sometimes WILD patterns he makes with it. I will not take it away from him, no matter the circumstance, if he wishes, I will color with him.

I love my boy and his dog like the tree loves the wind. The wind can sometimes be harsh, but the tree stands firm. The wind knocks off the leaves, but that is part of it's growth. If a branch breaks, it was due to it being weak, and weak branches sap the life from the whole tree. Most of the time though, the tree is caressed by the wind, it sways to the feel of the wind blowing softly around it. The branches and leaves make a glorious song in the breeze.

Beauty & Love

I see things like this every day now...well most days. It is breathtaking in it's beauty. I can't help but stare in awe at times at the beauty surrounding me. It is an amazing creation of God that we see every day, the world, the people in the world, nature, even man and man-made things....for who gave us the knowledge to create such things? I never want to be the person that brushes off such beauty simply because I have seen it before...I want to be in awe every day!


He may not look like he loves me in this picture, but I assure you his love is true...animals show such unconditional love. I find myself wondering why we humans cannot do the same. What is so hard about loving someone as they are, who they are, for better or worse? Why do people constantly try to convince others that they can do better? Who are they to determine what is better? I am guilty of the same such things and I realize now that my opinion is just that and you can take it or leave it. I am about sick and tired of having other people tell me what I should do, what I need or don't need, and how I should live my life. Only one person has the power to tell me any of those things...not even a person...so unless you are God, let me decide my own fate!

Stop and see the beauty around you, appreciate the love that is given to you and give it in return. We all want to be loved....
