For Valentine's Day, on the topic of Love I first wrote this post several years ago, but with Valentine’s Day fast approaching I thought it beneficial to repost it now. The content is as timeless today as it was back then. I hope you all feel as touched by reading it, as I was touched by writing it. Love, and Reasoning from the Scriptures (May 17, 2009 7:03 am) Another young man had taken and interest in my 17 year old , and I was concerned as usual. This one seemed unintimidated by my stern presence, and I'd dealt with guys like that before, but this one was different. He held my gaze while I studied him, as I took a long slow breath, took off my cleats and set down my gear from softball practice. After introductions, with an unflinching voice, he asserted that he loved Hillary and hoped there would be no problems with her parents. I had to admire his resolve, and decided to test him. Something inside me suddenly felt hopeful that perhaps this young man would finally be someone I could trust and respect. I know now that I was even beginning to feel a sense of compassion. As I lifted my Bible from my sport bag, he looked at me quizically, but said nothing more. Slowly, I turned to 1 Corinthians chapter 13, where Paul speaks so eloquently on the topic of love. Handing him the Bible, I asked him to sit down and read. As he began reading silently to himself, I stepped back just enough to reach my softball gear. Then, I hit him real hard with a bat. What? You were expecting a moral? |
