All too often we take for granted the ones we love. Perhaps
we get caught up in the day-to-day process of living and working, and we
neglect to share our true inner feelings. "She knows I love her," we
tell ourselves. But we never tell our spouse.
Maybe you grew up in a family where positive, loving feelings
were never expressed in words, so you don't know what to say. Perhaps you're
afraid you'll say the wrong thing or that if you try to express your feelings
you won't be able to control them. That's okay, even if you cry.
An advertisement reads, "Say it with flowers!"
Maybe that's how you tell that special someone of your love. Or perhaps you say
it with a well-chosen card. My wife loves dark chocolates, so I often give her
candy and a card on special occasions. She appreciates these tokens of love,
but I've learned over the years not to let the card or the gift do all the work
of saying what I really feel inside. I also need to say the words, "I love
you."
Everyone needs to hear words of love. In the Song of Solomon,
the lovers frequently used endearing terms when speaking to each other.
Today, tell that special person "I love you," not
just with candy or flowers but with words.
Friends, life is too short, we don’t know about our tomorrow,
please don’t delay in saying these words.
When was the last time you said "I love you" to a
special person in your life? Think of a quality you appreciate in that person
and tell him or her about it.
A word of love can make a world of difference.
