it's love

I was thinking about this just now as I was preparing for my Chemistry test and I just wanted to let it out..

It is a common misconception to think that if one is not in a relationship with another individual, one cannot fully appreciate and celebrate Valentine's day. You can find love in so many places: in friends, family, and especially, in God.

It's love:

When my daddy, who is now struggling with walking, drives twice a week to Riverside and back to pick me up and drop me off at school. He hobbles, yet when I have a lot of stuff to carry, he comes out of the car and slowly walks up to my dorm to help me unload.

When my mommy, who works 5 days a week, and out of those 5, works 16 hours on 3 of those days. She does this in order that our family will be supported, and especially....to pay my college tuitition. It's not easy to pay more than $2,000 each month, but she does... so that when I graduate, I won't have several thousands of loans to pay off.

It is true love:

When Jesus came to Earth and died for us, so that one day, we will be able to rise up into the clouds and live with Him forever.

How beautiful!
It made me tear up just thinking of the things my parents do for me out of love, and I thought how much more should I marvel and wonder at the love of Christ.
