1peter 4:8

Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Factual, Fate, Love. What is importance measured by; for me... well I dont quite believe in Fate, as here...(Synonyms 1. karma, kismet; chance, luck. Fate, destiny, doom refer to the idea of a fortune, usually adverse, that is predetermined and inescapable. The three words are frequently interchangeable. Fate stresses the irrationality and impersonal character of events: It was Napoleon's fate to be exiled. The word is often lightly used, however: It was my fate to meet her that very afternoon. Destiny emphasizes the idea of an unalterable course of events, and is often used of a propitious fortune: It was his destiny to save his nation. Doom especially applies to the final ending, always unhappy or terrible, brought about by destiny or fate: He met his doom bravely. foreordain, preordain. )

I do know there is a plan that is great and a reason for everything.

Love is the judge of importance in my life. Since I laid eyes on my beautiful baby, Aedon, I realized there was something of sooo much greater importance in my life than I. Now having Two...wow. It was a day of a greater head to heart connection. Having a child shook me out of my selfishness and re-arranged my world. Defenitly something to learn and grow into, also!

God is so good. His love I eagerly seek. In doing so, he presents me with greater understanding of importance in life. A greater love for my children(which I hadnt thought possible). A greater love for my husband...for my family, friends...the youth I'm priviledge to befriend...and a love and compassion for those I don't know.

Once I opened the door to God and his eyes, which i still only have a glimse, I began to have this well of compassion for others. Wanting to share love and joy with others. Wanting to give what Only God can. Blessed we are, that God gives us a bonus. All we are to do is love God and be Loved, Getting to love others is a bonus. Getting to share IN love with others is an even greater bonus, yet still only extra.

Getting to know God and intimately sharing yourself with him, is the greatest and of most importance of this world. I pray that anything which happens in my life... I can show and share the greatest importance with my sons, family and friends... and you too. Be loved and love.
