This world indeed is full of love. Was reflecting on it yesterday and true there is lotsa love around us. It just needs one to truly appreciate what love is and see it around us.
- How many “I love you” s have you received in your life?
- How many same sex friends drop a call, e-mail, an sms yesterday just to wish you a happy valentine's day each year
- How many "happy birthdays" do you get each year from people some of whom you don't even know which month THEY were born in.
- How many friendly e-mails do you get in your INBOX each day. How many of these are seldom replied. Of those you don't reply to, how many keep on clicking the SEND button with your name. Most of those who send you e-mails don't mind that you don't send them back as many e-mails as they send you but they'll keep on sending.
- How many friends keep on pestering you with calls to hear how you are feeling when you take a day off sick
- How many actually come over just to keep you company when you're not feeling too well
How many reassurances do you get when things are not going the right way round - How many “sorry”s do you get when someone’s kept you waiting for them even if you were two minutes ahead of them
- When was the last time you said “OK” to someone who thought they’d stepped on your foot
- How many hours have friends, relatives & colleagues spent with you grieving over a loss
- How many “just wanted to check how you’re doing” calls have you received
- And actual gifts & tokens….
The list may be endless for many of us. Just to keep it all in check, ask yourself how many times you’ve been on the giving side. If you feel you cannot give, start with a simple “thank you” with a smile. It all goes a long way and will be appreciated much.
I'll end with this;
" If music be the food of love, then play on"

And we have to spread the word about love. I got the fright of my life when my cousin was mugged and beaten up in Harare. I then realized that I had not told him that I love and appreciate his presence in my life. Sadly we realize what we had once its gone. Fortunately my cousin is alive and I always remind him that I love him to bits. And I am thankful that I am always surrounded by God's love.
