Monday Morning :)

I'm gonna go ole school with today's picture installment. It's a quote I found on a headstone, in one of the oldest cemetaries in Greenville. With just three words, it says a lot! It certainly gets me thinking, lol, which doesn't take a lot to do.

It makes me wonder who chose that the quote should come to rest here. Was it a wife, that chose to comment on how she was loved during her life? Was it a parent that wanted to leave a reminder to themselves, that true love never runs out?

It rings true when I think of God's love for us, that's for sure, but it also makes me wonder if my love for something or someone ran out, or waned, was it love at all? LOL, yeah, I know it's a lot to get from a quote on a headstone, but that's the way I am. I usually think about things on 20 more levels than anyone else. Most people would walk right past something like this and wouldn't even notice. But, I guess I've come to understand this quote so much more since I shot this photo, way back when.

Love really doesn't run out. I think it's like energy. It can change forms sometimes, and it can flourish, and go through droughts, but I think true love is absolutely bulletproof. It's like a lighthouse, standing against the crashing waves. It transcends time and space. It can last longer than the stone where these letters find themselves inscribed. Love has power to move mountains. It makes you do crazy things. It can scare you, it can inspire you to do great things.

What got me thinking about all this was when I went down to Blockbuster and had a few DVD's I was going to rent. I went up to the counter, and the lady asked if I had seen one of them in particular (which I thought would be a good love story.....one of those ones I love, lol, where you have to keep the tissues handy). I said I hadn't, and she said "you're gonna be really disappointed if you get it". She asked if I had seen a different movie and I hadn't seen that one either. She said it would be a lot better than the one I originally selected. LOL, thank the Lord I didn't get the first one, because the second one was terrible!! LOL

It makes me laugh, because when most people think of me, I don't think they see someone who is looking for a love story. I think my exterior is a whole lot different than the interior. But, I think it's a good thing, and.....I think I'll keep it that way :)
