Love the Sunshine


Today I was able to spend some much needed time outside in the sun! It felt so wonderful to sit there with my book letting the sun warm up my sleeveless  arms. I think I even got a little color in my face! I had a rough start to my day. I woke up in a funk, and I couldn't eat breakfast. This was definitely one of those simple things I needed to turn things around.
While I was sitting soaking up some good ole vitamin D, I read a chapter out of my current read, The Fitting Room. It is about how since God loves us we are given the clothes of patience, kindness, etc (Colossians 3:12). This particular chapter I was reading talked about "agapoa" love. Agapoa is the kind of love you feel for someone when you desire to be in the presence of someone and just share your experiences with them. It is a continuation of agape love, which is unconditional, all-consuming love. This part of the book was something I really liked because my "love language" is spending time. I really enjoy just hanging around, talking, and spending time with the people I love. When I was reading about this kind of love, my mind was flooded with the people I love in that way, and it was an Aha moment for me because it showed me how God feels for me, x infinity, how I feel about these people in my head, and no matter what I do, he does not plan on stopping.

Cool.
