I was reading these words the other day by Bishop Noel Jones and he wrote, “What you love determine how you love”. The words would not let me think about anything else. They literally took over my thinking process. I began to think of you all, my blogging friends.

I am writing this post today to help me get these words out of my head and onto this blank page. At first I tried getting rid of the words by sending a card to my brothers and sisters this morning. It worked for about 5 minutes and then I was still faced with this blank blog page and those pesty words” what you love, determines how you love”.

If what I love determines how I love then my question to myself is; How have I determined to love my brothers and sisters? My answer, by sharing my life experiences past and present. (blog page is filling up now)

During my time in the military I traveled extensively. My travels did not avail a lot of time to visit my sisters and brothers. The time I had at home was usually spent with my wife and son enjoying whatever country we were in at the time. Now I have a little more time and have placed a new found priority on my siblings. I have determined to give back the time I missed by sharing my experiences.

I love my brothers and sisters very much. I send them cards all the time.

I challenge you to ask youself these questions; What in your life do you love? How have you determine to love it or them? Is it self motivated or selfless love? Is it conditional or is it giving without wanting anything in return? I cannot and will not pretend to know what is right and what is wrong about how or what you love.

I will however leave you with this one thought “be careful not to choose to love what you do not have the power to love”. It only makes for a bad ending and most of the time someone’s heart will need mending because of it.

Thanks for reading I had to get “What you love, determines how you love” out of my head. Fortunately or unfortunately it has now been planted within your head. What you love, determines how you love. Think on it and write about it. You will be a better person for it.

I was thinking about all of the famous and not so famous people passing away the past few days. It is a heavy burden when you lose someone you love and adore. I know and understand this lost personally because when I was 7 years old I lost my father and then when I was 17 years old I lost my mother. Both were the love of my life and the burden of living without them was overwhelming. Well, to be totally honest, I had to get some counseling when my mom died because I could not wrap my mind around losing her. But with God, there is light and life after the death of your loved one. You show appreciation for the lost of life through your doing something good with the life you are given. Life is worth appreciating.

I appreciate life more now because of the experiences of lost and of love. I appreciate life because I demand it of myself, and I embrace life with everything in me. Every moment that you take a breath is one more reason to appreciate life. When you started your day this morning, hopefully you appreciated life by thanking God for your beating heart. If you’re able to work, appreciate that. Better yet, appreciate life because you have a job. Appreciate life by thanking God for all the people you will bless today.

Finally, appreciate life because you are living. Try not to get wrapped up in the negative, focus and dwell on the positive. Appreciate in the here and now. Ask yourself the question, how can I appreciate life today? Now go appreciate life, someone needs to feel appreciated.
