For the love

I have a friend that often says, "Oh, for the love!"  It makes me smile, as it is usually uttered in response to something myself or others think is funny that is likely a little juvenile.  Anyway, I was thinking of that friend this morning, and I was struck by the truth and power of the statement.  "For the love."

We put time and effort into relationships . . . for the love.  We work on improving our lives and the lives of others . . . for the love.  We seek continued spiritual growth . . . for the love.  We give and we receive . . . for the love.  We laugh, cry, hope, worry and pray . . . for the love.

Today I am grateful for the love . . . the love of life, the love of others, the love of myself . . . the love I give and receive . . . the love that I am at my core.  I am grateful for the love!
