Love

I have been thinking alot the last day and a half about love. Not the gushy, romantic love, but the caring love that causes people to do crazy things for others. Our lesson yesterday in church was about sacrifice, and in it our teacher told us the story about a woman who jumped in front of a car to save her child. That kind of love for others is the kind I've been thinking about. I was contemplating how we can develop this kind of love and I realized our perfect example is right in front of us. Jesus LOVED us all so much that he both suffered then died for every single one of us. If that's not love, I don't know what is. This might sound a bit strange, but I was thinking about my life and if there's anyone in it I'D be willing to take a bullet or to die for. I suspect (I hope!) that when I get married I'll feel that for my husband, and when I have kids I'll feel that for them too. But right now there's not many. Besides my family, there's only one person, possibly two I feel that way about. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing, but I hope that group grows a little but as I grow older so I can have that kind of love for a few more people....
