We hear it from our kids, "I love you mom, dad" etc... But what do we really know of love? I know that I thought I knew what love was. I guess from the time we are teens we "think" we know what True Love is. In fact we don't. Although some find it early in their lives and get to have it for a lifetime. Others, well, most of us only find it once. Some never find it at all for various reasons. To love someone and to open yourself up fully and to be completely vulnerable. No walls, no boundaries, just raw and honest YOU!! It is the most amazing thing I have discovered in my life thus far, besides the births of my 3 children!!
I have learned so much about myself in the past two years. I have learned to be comfortable in my own skin. I yearn for knowledge and information more than I ever did. I now feel as if I can do anything I set my mind to and even if I fail or things don't turn out the way I thought when I began. I succeeded in learning something!! I am no longer put down for any flaw, failure, mistake or mishap. Instead I am loved even more, encouraged to try again and move forward with no worry of repercussion or "not being loved anymore". All of this love, compassion, respect, dignity, encouragement, comes from one person. My husband J.R. Fikuart!! He is my rock. My light in the darkest night. My wishing star. My lover and my best friend to whom I can tell anything. He is not without his own flaws, as he would say, "We all have our little smells". :) But, he is selfless, understanding, caring, kind, forgiving, decent, upstanding, and pure joy shines from his smiling face.
I truly believe I am the luckiest woman in the world to have such a special person in my life. I am blessed beyond measure when it comes to my life as it is right now. I am Thankful every second for this man coming into my life.
Believe me, I could gush all day long and until everyone was screaming, "please stop" about my husband. (yes I love saying the word "husband" ) lol
I love you J.R. and I can't imagine life without you in it. I truly believe I KNOW what true love is. I live it everyday, every minute with you!!
4 Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant 5or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. 7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. I Corinthians 13:4-7

Everyone learns best in the arms of love. Our journey never ends, Melissa. Our map is our gift to our children so that they may learn to serve as we wish always to serve. There is no limit to love in lives lived in service to our Lord and God.
