LOVE

Love...

LOVE HOMILY?

When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But
when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love,
it doesn't really matter who won or who lost. What is important is
you know when to hold on and when to let go!

You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be
happy, even if their happiness means that you're not part of it.
Everything happens for the best. If the person you love doesn't love you back,
don't be afraid to love someone else again, for you'll never know unless you
give it a try.

You'll never love a person you love unless you risk for love. Love
strives in hurting.
If you don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love. Love doesn't hurt
all the time. Though the hurting is still there to test you, to help you grow.

Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's called falling in
love because you don't force
yourself to fall. You just fall.

You cannot finish a book without closing it's chapters. If you want
to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages. <

Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress.
It is a lifetime venture in which we are always learning,
discovering, and growing.

The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and
holding on when you need to let go. We lose someone we love
only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us
even more than we can love ourselves.

On falling out of love, take some time to heal and then get back on
the horse. But don't ever make the same mistake of riding the same one
that threw you the first time.

To love is to risk rejection, to live is to
risk dying, to hope is to risk failure. But risk must be taken
because the greatest hazard in life is risking nothing! To reach for another is
to risk involvement, to expose your feelings is to expose your true self, to
love is to risk not to be loved in return.

How to define love: fall but do not stumble, be constant but not too
persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to
demand, hurt but never keep the pain.

Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful
images into the soul that always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed
to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you and give you joy and strength.

But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end.
Loving people means giving them the freedom who they choose to be and
where they choose to be.
For all the heartaches and the tears, for
gloomy days and fruitless years, you should give thanks, for you know, that
there were the things that helped you grow.
Loving someone means giving
them the freedom to find their way, whether it leads towards you or away from you.

Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter
how scary or painful, for only then you'll experience the fullness of humanity and that is love.
Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart.
Only love can make you cry and only love knows why.
If you're not ready to cry, if
you're not ready to take the risk, if you're not ready to feel the
pain, then you're not ready to fall in love.

There was a time in our lives when we became afraid to fall in love
coz every time we do, we get hurt,
then I figured that's why it's called falling in love.

When you decide to love, allow it to grow.

When you promise to love, refuse to let it die!

24 THINGS TO PONDER...

1. the beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly
themselves,
and not to twist them with our own image -
otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in
them.

2. the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of
everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

3. maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one
so that when we finally meet the right person,
we should know how to be grateful for that gift.

4. it takes a minute to have a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone and a day to love someone -
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

5. happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt,
those who have searched and those who have tried.
for only they can appreciate the importance of people
who have touched their lives.

6. love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance
and you find out you still care for that person.

7. a sad thing about life is that when you meet someone
who means a lot to you only to find out in the end
that it was never bound to be
and you just have to let go.

8. love starts with a smile,
develops with a kiss and (sometimes)
ends with tears.

9. love comes to those who still hope
even though they've been disappointed,
to those who still believe
even though they've been betrayed,
need to love those who still love
even though they've been hurt before.

10. it hurts to love someone and not be loved in return,
but what is the most painful is to love someone
and never finding the courage to let the person know how you feel.

11. the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past,
you can't go on well in life
until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

12. never say goodbye when you still want to try -
never give up when you still feel you can take it -
never say you don't love that person anymore when you can't let
go.

13. giving someone all your love
is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
don't expect love in return,
just wait for it to grow in their hearts
but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

14. there are things you love to hear
but you would never hear it from the person
whom you would like to hear it from,
but don't be deaf to hear it from the person
who says it with his heart.

15. when you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling
live your life so that when you die,
you're smiling and everyone around you is crying.

16. don't go for looks' it can deceive;
don't go for wealth - even that fades away.
go for someone who makes you smile
coz' only a smile makes a dark day seem bright.

17. there are moments in life,
when you really miss someone
that you want to pick them from your dreams
and hug them for real!
hope you dream of that someone.

18. dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be
cuz you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things you want in life.

19. may you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trails to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human,
enough hope to make you happy
and enough money to buy me gifts.

20. when one door of happiness closes, another opens
but often we look so long at the closed door
that we don't see the one
which has been opened for us.

21. the best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch,
swing with, never saying a word,
and then walk away feeling like
that was the best conversation you've had.

22. its' true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it,
but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing
until it arrives.

23. always put yourself in other's shoes.
if you feel that it hurts you,
it probably does hurt the person, too.

24. a careless word may kindle strife;
a cruel word may wreck a life;
a timely word may level stress;
a loving word may heal and bless.
