Love is the beginning, middle, and end – Anonymous

I went shopping the other day.  While browsing through the store, I found a dish soap that caught my eye.  I was not going to buy it, but I kept going back and looking at the dish.  Finally, I decided to buy the soap dish.  The writing on the dish was what caught my eye.  It said “love is the beginning, middle, and end”.

The dish is sitting on my dresser now and I keep looking at it.  The colors are simple, beige and green.  I am going to use it for jewelry dish.  I have time to ponder what it said in the last couple days.

How true it is about love.  Love doesn’t know any end.  The beginning always start with a warm fuzzy feeling of falling in love, that makes you smile when you think of that person, put butterfly in your stomach at the thought of that person, you can’t eat and sleep, you wake up in the morning with that person in your mind, you can’t stop thinking of him/her all day, you can’t wait to see them.

All along love grows in the middle and you continue in the relationship with love guiding you through thick and thin, bad days and good days as life brings.  While you walk alongside love in the middle, you need to make a conscious effort to give love TLC otherwise love cannot grow as you expect it, or love can wither and die away.  Love can’t grow without being tended and nurtured.  The middle love is the most important part of love.

At the end, love is how you nurture it.  Love will always be there to the end, no matter what the end is.  I always think when love ends, it’s the end of love.  But it’s not the case, when love dies, love is still there in your heart but it’s not the love that you used to feel but it becomes a memory of love.

So, don’t forget 🙂 love is the beginning, middle and end.  Love is always there.  It’s our job to nurture love so it can grow and bear fruit of happiness, joy, peace, kindness, gentleness.  Love is not selfish 🙂 LOVE = GIVE 🙂

Have a blessed love week 🙂
