I marvel at the wonders God has created in this world. The sparkling snow, the warm Northern Lights, the cities and towns and countries.
Wow.
I don't think I could dream all of that up. What a world we live in. And look what we do to each other. Some people think they are happy, but they are really living lies. Some people tell their spouses they love them, when they really don't.
Some people have to take drugs to get up, drugs to eat, drugs to go to sleep. Some people walk away from their kids. Some people are in so much debt, they will die owing money.
Some people will never know what a lot of money looks like.
Some people are sick and won't get better.

Some people are in love. Some people love their kids. Some people have good jobs that give back to the community. Some people notice sunsets. Some people aren't afraid to say what they feel. Some people aren't afraid to say they pray. Some people aren't afraid.

There is more then 6 billion people in the world today. 6,560,348,429 according to a website I saw tonite. 6, 560,348,429.

I know a few of them. I'm blessed by most of them. But sometimes it is impossible not to focus on waiting for that "right" person. The one who makes you feel things you've never felt before. The one you get to have children with. The one who thinks you're beautiful in the morning, captivating at night, and remarkably gorgeous throughout the day. The one who holds your hand, sings love songs and thinks of you, and can't think of a better place to be then anywhere you are.

John Ruskin, and english essayist, art and social critic once said, "Love is a magic vase filled to the brim; so made that you cannot dip into it nor draw from it; but it overflows into the hand that drops treasures into it-drop in malice and it overflows hate; drop in charity and it overflows love."
You get out what you put in.
Got it.

"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you." - Roy Croft
Don't know who Roy Croft is, but that quote makes alot fo sense to me, loving someone and having them love you should, at least I think, encourage you to be better then what you are. Not different, just alwasy learning and growing.

Scripture says;

“Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes."
Well said, however, I can't say as I know of a love that was never jealous, or boastful or selfish and so on. Maybe I'll find one, even if it isn't mine.

"No cord or cable can draw so forcibly, or bind so fast, as love can do with a single thread." Robert Burton
I think this is one of my favourites. Cause it's true, no matter what. Even if nothing ever happens with the person you love, you'll always remember that you loved them. Whenever you see them, you'll know. Even if they never do- which most of the men I "think" I've loved - don't. Both a blessing and a curse.
I'm not desperate and I can get by without it.
I'm just ready.
I'm ready for God to take it and make it what He will.
I hope He's ready too. Cause my heart is getting a little sore. :)

6,650,348,429 people in the world.

And sometimes, all you need is one.
