The power of LOVE

I was reading this Saturday morning and it brought me to tears. Right after I read it, the song by Michael W. Smith came on, The Tribute/Agnus Dei. (I looked up Agnus Dei and it means Lamb of God).This is a beautiful, instrumental, inspirational song and it played before one time when I was visiting your grave, so it makes me think of that sometimes. Here is the post. It is from the Facebook page of Luminous Light Studio.


Each and every loss is so different but there is one common thread - LOVE. And over the past two and a half years, I have learned the power of it.

I want you to know that death can never take that from you. It will never fade or cease. It will only grow. When you fear that your memory is fading or their image is slipping. When you want to go back in time. When no one but you says their name. When the days are dark and the pain runs deep. When the tears flow so much they run dry. When you struggle to breathe. When you struggle to survive. When the world comes crashing down over and over and your only wish is to hold them tight. Love is still there. It will always be there because even in darkness this love is scintillating. It is the light in the darkness and that love will see you through. So keep loving. Keep breathing. Keep going. Keep reaching ahead, because one day - we will see them again. And that love will have only grown stronger with every day that you walked this world without them in it.

(As I was writing this, the song Watching Over Me came on Pandora by the Canadian Tenors)

Looked up the word scintillating: sparkling or shining brightly; brilliantly and exciting, clever or skillful
