Expressional... Spiritual... Natural...


So it's been well over 6 months since my last blog. Which is good for me, because in that time a lot of reflecting was going on. This blog is all about love.. Right? And for most of us, Love is what we are seeking. And for many, Love is not what we wake up to everyday. Or so we think. You may or may not know where I am going with this, but I'll keep going. There are in my opinion and observation 3 types of love in the world. There is Expressional Love, Spiritual Love, and Natural Love. All of which should be limitless which is Unconditional love.
Expressional Love is what we do to show how we love another person.
For example when a man first falls in love with a woman he buys her flowers and gifts. Or women will give a back rub or cook dinner. We do this to show how into that person we are. Or how much we love that person. Sex is also a form of Expressional Love, that is why when you love someone you make love to them. You are in that moment using you body as an instrument to express your love for that person.
Spiritual Love however is a little bit differently. And can be broken down into several different levels as well. Think about your best friend... Say your best friend is of opposite sex. It is not odd to be spiritually in love with your best friend. There is not necessarily anything physical in the relationship. How ever, the two of you have a connection that over the years has gone to another level. They understand your silence, and can read between your words. And can sometimes anticipate your thoughts.
Lastly there is Natural Love... Parents, grand-parent, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles. If you have family you wake up to is everyday. If you are still living and breathing everyday you experience it everyday. It's the love no one should have to teach you. Even the most selfish and concieted person on the planet loves everyday. If they are not completely in love with themselves, they are in love with their things.
All three of these forms of love are essential to our lives. In the last 6 months while I was away in my own little world reflecting on my life and my love... I experienced the above 3 stages. And I learned how to unconditionally love me.
I treat my self to show myself just how much I love me. I read motivational books and I've gotten back into the church and into what God is up to. I realize how much someone else should love me and how loved I am loved by God. Every single morning I wake up to the wonderful voices of my 3 year old twin girls. As sleepy as I may be I smile and out of love fulfill their early morning requests. I took a step back and I found love all around me. Then I monitored my every situation and circumstance and still found love was there unconditionally.
Got Love <3?
