Key Words: I love them that love me
It’s
hard not to love someone who loves you!
I am reminded of the words found in I Corinthians 13:8, “Charity never
faileth.”
We
used to have a little dachshund dog named Fritz. That dog would get so excited about seeing
me. I still remember vividly in the
evening when I would drive up in the driveway that Fritz would begin to jump up
and down and run with excitement around the back yard. Now, I couldn’t ignore him.. How could I just
walk away from a dog that excited about seeing me? I have to admit that it was touching. As long as I would stay in the back yard with
that dog he would run and jump with excitement.
I loved that dog, because he genuinely loved me.
When
the grandkids are at the house and I drive up, they will often begin to yell
“PawPaw is home!” and they’ll run and greet me with hugs and kisses. You know, no matter what they’ve gotten into
that day, they are easy to love because they love me.
Now
I’m really not into texting, but I get a text occasionally from Linda (my wife)
saying “I love you,” and, “I love you, too.”
How could I not after 50 years of her putting up with me and my somewhat
crazy schedule?
I
think by now you are getting the point.
I love
those mentioned above for many reasons, one of which is that they love me.
✞ Remember love is not so much in the words “I love you” as it is in the actions and demonstrations towards you.
