The other day a friend of mine posted on Facebook…. Who, being loved, is poor? That’ll make you put some priorities on things won’t it? Love is the only thing on this planet that is both freely given and priceless at the same time.

I guess we have to start with are we loved? I mean truly, unconditionally, and without a doubt loved. “I know some people who might be upset if I died.” Is not what I’m talking about. Chances are everybody has someone that loves them on this earth and if you don’t then you have me.

Then I guess we have to ask ourselves are we loving others? Are we showing them the love we crave? Do we tell the ones we love that we love them, do we make sure there is no doubt in their minds the way we feel about them or the impact they have on our life?

If the answer to both of those questions is yes then I’m going to need you to reach out to me and help me. I feel like I fall short everyday of making sure the ones I love have no doubt about how I feel about them. Did I tell them enough? Did I put them in the right place on the priority list, or did I let them slip in behind something like work? When they lay their heads down tonight will they think of me and the way I love them? If something happens tonight and I don’t make it to the morning will they have doubt about their place in my heart?

I know I have people that love me. There is no doubt about that. Sometimes I feel like I can count that group on one hand and other times I feel like they are as numerous as the stars in the sky, but I am loved. You too are loved, if you don’t see it or feel it call me I’ll let you know. God loves us all and has called us to love each other as we love ourself. Think about the people you love, think about what love means, and how you can make sure that everyone in your life knows you love them before it’s too late. I will bet you during an hour truly loving someone you won’t experience one wasted second.
