Love Conquers All

When I drafted this post a few days ago it was titled Love Stinks (yeah, yeah). Then I contemplated Love Hurts (but we all know that).

So today, I was dancing with my kids to this song. And it hit me. After we had our last meal with the McDaniels and they left for the airport, my heart ached. I didn't think it was ever going to recover, ever. But that night, it got a little better, because other friends gathered and shared their hearts, and their tears, and we loved one another. Love received.

Over the past couple of days, I've read beautiful expressions of love for each other in blog world. Memories and pictures of the McDaniels. These expressions of love for each other have helped me heal a little more. Love witnessed.

Today, I'm feeling quite a bit better, as I dance with my kids and love on them. Today it will be love given that will make it better.

"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

So, Love Conquers All. When faith stands tall, and fear grows small, love conquers all.
