Love Sweet Love
November 19, 2009This week at my church CCOB, there was a women’s dessert night, I actually baked a cake that looked normal. My husband was a little envious, he told me I keep buying the boxes but never bake for him, kinda of true so I pulled out the other box, fudge walnut brownies and I quickly whipped that up and placed in the oven because after all I should take care of him and my family first. The boys were excited to have walnut brownies with ice cream and I left my men with their bowls and headed to church on a windy rainy thursday night. I knew there would be a speaker but would have never imagined her talk would be title, Love sweet Love. I arrived holding my dessert tight, a bit shy for there were many women and I am new at this church and do not know anyone., I felt a bit a lone as one does whenever one goes to a new place and I looked where to put my dessert and I found my spot. We worshiped some songs and I asked God to speak to me. The Little short preached went up and began speaking what the world needs is Love Sweet Love and she went onto to preach God’s love and how He wants us to love people as they need to be loved and not how we want them to be loved. In my husband’s cake cooking for him is a sign of loving him and taking care of him and I would like to improve on that part and would like to understand and put into practice how people need to be loved. Love is patient, Love is kind, Love does not boast and she went on citing funny examples of how it is hard to love people sometimes especially those who bug us but Jesus on the sermon of the mount asked us to forgive our enemies, to pray for those who use us, to do good and that sounds impossible but when we ask for God’s love to reign in us, then we love God’s way. Love sweet love is what the world needs and love sweet love is what I felt during the ceremony and reception of Muhammed and Yolanda’s Wedding last month. It was a simple wedding, made possible by the help of a caring community. It was not in a super sized church, nor a fancy hotel or wedding hall but the most important ingredients to any wedding were present. Love sweet love, sweet brown shy eyes tucked underneath a white cap, although tall Muhammed is very shy and hides but you can see his love sweet love for his and only his Yolanda. She hides behind her laughter, laughing, and smiling and whispers in his ears. The ceremony touched my heart for I felt that preacher was talking to me, how God uses people and I felt blessed being there sharing those moments. In the ceremony the sweet love was felt again by family members and friends who tidied up the place and who spoke of how they admired both Yolanda and Muhammed who have both lost their mothers and have gone through thick and thin with their two little boys but have stayed together strong in their love sweet love. After the wedding Yolanda emailed me the sweetest note saying the following:
