We just watched "Marley & Me" tonight. The movie brought me to tears. My chest hurt. At one point, I cried hard enough that I started laughing (felt silly but was real). See, I also have a dog (identical to Marley actually). The unconditional love of a dog is amazing....isn't it? Inspiring. Another demonstration / manifestation of G-d's love. Sad thing is that I know (my kids don't yet) that one of these days Ali's love won't be around us....around our living room....in our backyard. To flip it....follow me here....Ali would have no issue if she had to scoop my poop, gather my puke, take me for a walk, take me to a Dr appt - but I complain when I have to do that for her even though she puts out constant love. Not just love for me, for my wife and kids....nothing speaks to me more than someone loving on my family!
Unconditional Love - Hard to come by.
I mean I have unconditional love in my life....towards my wife and kids. And here's the awesome part of "unconditional love"....REGARDLESS of their choices or offenses against me, I will continue to love them fully - give my life up for them at anytime. I've never felt more joy and at the same time more vulnerable (does that make sense?).
When we love, through that love, we get a clearer picture of G-d's love for us. Even when I'm unfaithful, He is faithful.
