THE MANY FACES OF LOVE
I DID'T FEEL A THING!
A young man said to his father at breakfast one morning, "Dad, I'm going to get married."
"How do you know you're ready to get married?" asked the father. "Are you in love?" "I sure am," said the son.
"How do you know you're in love?" asked the father. "Last night as I was kissing my girlfriend good-night, her dog bit me and I didn't feel the pain until I got home."

Dearest Jimmy,
No words could ever express the great unhappiness I've felt since
breaking our engagement. Please say you'll take me back. No one could
ever take your place in my heart, so please forgive me. I love you, I
love you, I love you! Yours forever, Marie.
P.S., And congratulations on willing the state lottery.

Love at all stages of Life.

Reflections from Karan:
THE PURSE THEORY
Years
ago I remember how intimated I was stepping into the business world. I
would always wear a business suit and three-inch heels, hoping to make
a good impression. It was important to me to look pulled together so
the people I dealt with would assume I knew what I was doing.
Then
I attended a Women’s Conference and heard a speaker talk about how
others could tell a lot about our personality our purse size. (Which
totally blew my whole dress for success theory). This was a little
horrifying to me, because I always carried a purse about the size of
Texas. As she proceeded with her talk, I learned women who carried
small purses are perceived as decisive, powerful, organized, and goal
orientated. All the things I wanted to be, and felt I was not.
In that conference I learned big purse people were thought of as fun,
artistic, easy-going and their purses were usually mess. (I knew that,
my purse carried papers, wrappers, candy, Swiss army knife and a
telephone at the bottom I could never find. In fact once something went
into that purse, it could be lost forever. I thought my purse was my
secret, I wonder if she had peeked.
At that moment I
decided to become small purse woman, so people would think I had all
the attributes of a responsible businesswoman.
I laugh
when I think back to those days when I put so much emphasis on a purse.
Even funnier, I bought that small purse. When I couldn’t get everything
into it, I ended up carrying two Safeway bags around with the rest of
my stuff. I had my small purse(which looked good) and to everyone else
it looked like I had just been shopping at Safeway with the other two
bags. It worked for me! Reality finally set in and I gave up my Safeway
shopping bags, and went back to my wonderful, carry everything at once,
big purse.
Although I am quirky, creative, emotional and
carry a BIG purse. (Look out, blonde coming through) I have learned I
don’t have to be like everyone else; God has given me the freedom and
capacity to embrace the women that he made me to be. What a gift of
Grace, I am free to be me. ©
Ephesians 3:18 NLB And may
you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide,
how long, how high, and how deep his love is.
Lovingly, Karan
