Children: An Emblem of Love

"God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus. He came to love, heal and forgive. He lived and died to buy my pardon, an empty grave is there to prove my Saviour lives!"

Today I was thinking about my parent's divorce. I never understood it as clearly as I do today. I think about how it makes me fearful that I should enter a loveless marriage. Though, I also think about the end product of my mother and father's union = my brother  and I. So I say,  even when  there is 'no love' in a marriage, and a man and a woman divorce/separate it is their children that validate the marvelous possibility for the forsaken love to still exist. Children are a reminder of a love that once existed between two people that must go on. Or is it because two parents divorce that their children suddenly scientifically and physiologically divorce themselves from their cells into nonexistence? No. Love continues symbolized through a fixed whole representing halves of a whole body, spirit, and heart. That is why even when a man and a woman divorce it is more on paper than in spirit, for the child carries on the spirit forward.

Solitude in Nature, May 5, 2013






"Because I'll never hold the picture of the whole horizon in my  view, because I'll never rip the night in two - it makes me wonder, 'Who am I?' and Great are you Lord!" ~ Downhere
As I stream through pictures from holidays at the university when I had free time, I note that most of my pictures are closeups and landscapes of nature.
