Cross that. IF and when I get married, I don’t want people to say something like “It seems only yesterday we were in high school…” or even “the dream has come true!!”. I don’t want my family and friends to be in awe of how Pintrest-esque the wedding is, or how beautiful my dress is, or how suave...
You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: the sincerity in a stranger’s voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, the scent of new books in the store, the surprise short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely.
You must remember when she forgets.
You lose her when you don’t notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you’re about to ask a question but you think anything you’re about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don’t even know about yourself, because she pays attention.
She remembers when you forget.
You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. She wants to feel cherished. When you make her feel that you are fleeting. She wants you to stay. When you make her feel inadequate. She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good.
You must learn her.
You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.
You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.
One prayer is so powerful. Please take time to pray for others. It may be your mom or dad, your brother or sister, your friend or your best friend, your classmate, your teacher, your neighbor, your enemy, your spouse or child, or a stranger, someone you don’t even know, someone you’ve just seen along the road.
Pray for them for we do not know what they are going through. We do not know what problems they carry. We don’t know what sufferings, hardships, difficulties they’re having right now. Please, just pray for them. Pray for them to overcome what they’re going through right now, to have the strength from God, to be strong, to have courage to endure the hardships they are facing right now. Please, it will really help them.
You just don’t know how powerful your one simple prayer is. Please PRAY.
Today is Valentines day, and I can’t wait for the day I have you to share this day with. I’m quite the romantic, so let me explain how I’d plan to remind you that you’re my princess; Upon waking up, you’d notice rose petals on the bed, to the bed side table you’d see your favorite breakfast (in...
