Happy Valentine's Day!!!

On This Day When Those W/Romantic Aspirations Get Geared Up 2 Profess Their Love..., I Am Going 2 Lay My Brother 2 Rest!!! So From This Day FWD It Will Always Take On A New Meaning 4 Me... I Read This & Loved It..., So Now I Will Share This With U Bcuz This Is Truly How We Should Love!!!

Of Course Being Human I Did Not Love As Eloquently As It States Here..., But Do Know I Tried My Best 2 Love As Best As I Could Given My Own Human Limitations...

1 Thing I've Never Done Though Is Even When I Was Angered By My Love 4 U..., I Keep No Record Of Wrongs Bcuz I Have Enuff Flaws 2 Cover Both Of Us!!! So Accept My Flawed Love 4 U Bcuz Just Like Ms. Whitney Houston Say's, "I Will Alwayz Love Ya!!!"

2day's Message: In our culture today, so many people are confused about what love is. We love pizza, movies and sports, but we also love our family or spouse. If we look to the Word of God, we see God’s definition of love.
First Corinthians 13 tells us that “love is patient and kind. It does not envy, nor boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It does not seek its own way, is not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices in the truth. Love believes, hopes and endures. Love never fails.”

This is how God responds to us, and this is how we should respond to the people in our lives — with patience, kindness, hope, humility and love. Scripture tells us that God is love, and His character never changes!

Today and every day, know that God loves you with an everlasting love. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is for you and has a good plan for you. Receive His perfect love today and let Him transform you from the inside out. His love is the greatest love and will last throughout all eternity! Joel Osteen

R.I.P. 2 My Brother Larry & The Houston Family!!! But Never 4get..., Life Is Truly 4 The Living!!! So Let's Keep On Living & Loving Stronger Than Ever!!!
