This Little Thing Called Love

My parents do not own a computer. I have friends
that do not own a cell phone. I have not read any
of the Vampire books yet and I love to read.
Many of my friends have never been to see a play.
I am not in love with my car. My fiancée' puts up
with but is not a fan of Face Book. My second wife
does not eat red meat. I have friends who are
sports enthusiasts. I have friends who love to go
camping and take cruise line trips. So what is my
point in all this trivia? Our world and your world
is made up of various friends, relatives, and work
associates that are different. Their world is made
up of different lifestyles and varied living
conditions than you and I. They have different wants
and needs and even though we are all different , we
all have the same thing in common. We love what we
love. We love face book, or we love our car, or we
love the computer. Most of the world has something
that they really do love tremendously. Some want to
share that love with others, while some keep their
love of things to themselves. My point in all of this
rambling is to remind you that even though we are all
different and even though we all go off into other
directions, based on our love of sports, travel, or
upbringing, we are all in this world as human beings
who should love and care for one another. It is
really not hard to love a stranger. We have all shed
a tear for fellow human beings in trouble. Look at
9/11 or the catastrophe in Haiti last month. We do
not know these people but this could have been us
or you can relate to the problems that they are having
and thank God this was not your family or you.
We feel the kindred spirit and that in itself is a
form of love for your fellow man. I just want you to
realize the importance of caring for others, and
loving one another. I am not a peace freak even though
I abhor war, and I just want you to take time in your
daily lives to remember the people around you
that you love and care for and sometimes say a little
prayer for those you do not know but may need
your help or a loving thought thrown their way.
I guess that I am feeling a little melancholy about
some of my relatives who I loved and miss, especially
around this February month of love during Valentine.
Love your neighbor. Love your friends and relatives.
And most importantly love yourself. You are
special and you make a difference in the world.
Remember we all are loved. We need to give love.
We need to share love. We need to live love.
