Anything Is Possible

Someone once said, ~There are 3 great things in the world. The fist thing is for you to love someone. The second great thing is for someone to love you back and the third greatest thing is for the first and second thing to happen at the same time.~ Without a doubt, love is considered the single most powerful entity that one person can have for another. Its the driving force that keeps a person going even though one may not physically be strong enough. If you think about it, the power it has, whether it is given or received, can and/or will make a person physically, mentally, and emotionally stonger when it comes from someone that truly and genuinelly loves/cares for you. Let me ask you this question, how many of you have someone in your life that loves/cares about you with all your heart and vice versa?

We all have people that we love such as family and friends, but when it comes to that someone special there is a much greater love for him or her. A love that oftentimes can't be explained and yet no amount of explanation can describe how a human being feels for another. Usually, there are no words to explain/describe how you feel for that particular person, you just go with what's in your heart and soul to where you let it speak for you. Each one of us have talked with people or someone who when asked about him or her, one's facial expressions just brighten up and they witness this firsthand. Let me give you this challenge, if you truly love somebody try not to smile when you talk about him or her and see how you do.

Essentially, its quite easy to love someone with all your heart but to have that somone love you back cn be considered at times difficult. For those who are living the single life, like myself, you want to meet that one person who will love you unconditionally with every fiber of one's being. Yet, that love can't be forced to where you make that person love you which is a deluded perception that can be taken too far, but I digress. For the love I'm speaking of has to be reciprocated back and all a person has to do is be there for that person as a friend first. Eventually that friendship turns into appreciation, that appreciation turns into like, that like turns into the love you always wanted not only in your life, but in your heart and soul as well.

For some, most or all people it took only one shot for love to come his or her way, which can also be said for the other person as well. Unfortunately, for others it has taken several shots to find/meet the love that is absolutely perfect, even though it isn't at times considered perfect. Its a whole lot of hard work, patience, communication, committment, trust, honesty, but most of all a sense of humor when things in life just seem overwhelming that you can simply laugh at it together, which I was recently told. In a sense, that is the beauty of a long lasting love that is found in someone you call your best friend when no matter how mad, frustrated, crazy, insane you get with each other he or she will be at your side forever and always, till death do you both part.

This past Sunday, two couples celebrated the bonds of marriage as well as the bond of friendship as well. The first couple celebrated their 44th wedding anniversay and the second only a mere 40 years together which to me is longevity my friend. As to be expected, there was not a dry eye in the house as the couple who celebrated their 40 anniversary renewed their vows with not only the eyes of the Fil-Am Church family watching but also with eyes God watching as well. How many people can truly say that they've found the person they're going to spend the rest of their lives with and like I said in a past Yodaism, all it takes if you are truly lucky is just one look. In the end, if two people can meet each other, fall in love, and have love last 40 years or more then anything is possible for a guy like me and for you as well.
