Lost that Loving Feeling?

The other day my little girl, Kylie, was proudly showing Valentine’s cards she’d made. And of course, they were all brilliant. One that sticks with me is one that read, “ I love you with all my might.” It was an innocent reminder that Love is verb. Love is what you do. It’s not a feeling. In fact, Love is what you do especially when you don’t feel like it.

It’s sad to hear people say, “I just don’t love them any more. I have no feelings for them.” Maybe people who feel that way have it all backwards. We demand a feeling to drive our behavior. We do for each other when we “feel” something for each other. What if we actually started doing for and truly loving each other? Put action first. We may quickly learn that the good feelings we long for: joy, desire, passion, adoration, infatuation, respect - are the guaranteed reward. In doing so, we’d never live without or lose that loving feeling ever again.

With all my might, Happy Valentines Day.
