Love Recipe

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

I’ve been searching the internet for quite some time now, searching for what people believed to be the best recipe for love.Here is what I had found, from an unknown author…

RECIPE FOR LOVE

Ingredients

2 Hearts Full of Love
2 Heaping Cups of Kindness
2 Armfuls of Gentleness
2 Cups of Friendship
2 Cups of Joy
2 Big Hearts Full of Forgiveness
1 Lifetime of Togetherness
2 Minds Full of Tenderness

Method

Stir daily with Happiness, Humor and Patience.
Serve with Warmth and Compassion, Respect and Loyalty.

I should have been satisfied with that but the truth is I am searching if TRUST is a big factor in a relationship. But the funny thing is… there is no significant answer I have found yet but instead every one is emphasizing on FORGIVENESS!

I have never bothered to create a special recipe for my own love before, because I used to believe that as long as you love a person – everything will just fall into places. You show tenderness, patience, respect and other warm feelings… simply because you love that person.

But what if you don’t TRUST that person anymore? Will LOVE soon just fade away? Or is there really such thing as falling out of love….

Unfortunately, I wasn’t successful in finding the answers yet… all I know is that my heart is still aching because someone I love lied to me…I am trying my best to FORGIVE but my mind just can’t forget and sadly it is affecting the way I wanted to show my love for that person… 

How To Have A Relationship That Will Last

I would like to share something nice I’ve read by Bo Sanchez… it’s about having a relationship that will last…   Opposites do attract – but will the attraction make a relationship endure to the end?   Partners can differ on tastes—perhaps the woman loves bangus but the man eats only adobo and paksiw. Partners can differ on the best way to spend their weekend—perhaps he likes computers but she likes going out to new places . Partners can differ in personality—perhaps he likes to listen and she likes to talk.   All these differences are fine. They can complement each other. But at the end of the day, it’s the COMMON things that will HELP hold a marriage together.

Especially  

  1. common values

  2. common vision and

  3. common passions

         

 It’s really nice to dream of growing old together with that someone you love.

If you’re married, and you want to strengthen your marriage, then CREATE common values, common vision, and common passions together. Work on them!

 And if you’re not yet married, be sure to find someone who shares with you your values, vision, and passions

LOVE AND LETTING GO

  • But love is not love until it lets go. One who professes love but refuses to let go is not a lover. He is a parasite. Letting go is the ultimate test of love.

How meaningful these words are to me. Two years ago, I left a place where I felt so much happiness and contentment. In that place I enjoyed my independence, I enjoyed living with my friends, I enjoyed living close to the sea and the mountain and most of all I enjoyed living close to someone whom I love so much, my Hunny.   

  • But their mutual letting go did not mean abandonment or betrayal. Their letting go was the ultimate challenge of their love for one another. Jesus had to let go of His apostles for their sake. The apostles must let go of Jesus so He could complete the mission entrusted to Him by the Father. From then on, the love between Jesus and His disciples – you and I included – would have to grow with faith and hope.   

In the same way, I left that place, to live somewhere, coz I felt I have to do it for my Hunny’s sake. I know it would challenge our love for each other. But I know deep in me, that it is the only way that we could grow in faith and hope that someday we will be united again… forever.    

  • Love demands faith and is nourished by hope. Our faith convinces us what our physical reality fails to prove: Jesus is here with us. Our hope sustains us where human expectation falls short: Jesus will come again and take us with Him to paradise. Faith, hope, and love as St. Paul wrote, are the things that last to the end; and the greatest of them is love. But love is not love until it lets go. (Fr. Bobby Titco, Didache, April 19, 2007)  

That’s the way I love someone whom I know God has given to me as a special gift. (Coz actually hiningi ko talaga ang Hunny ko kay God thru prayers.  J )
