Several years ago in a tropical country where many Americans were living, a terrifying eye disease struck.  It affected primarily children.  American children were more vulnerable because of a deficiency in ther immune systems.  The signs were unmistakable.   Five days after the first symptoms appeared the child would begin to go blind.  Parents were understandably terrified.

One moreing one of the American mothers awoke to see all the symptoms of this disease  in her little girl's eyes.  Seh immediately took her to the doctor only to be told that there was no hope!

Holding back the tears, the mother then took her daughter by the hand an walked her to a nearby field.  This mother picked up her child and held her.  Again and again she told her to notice the sunlight and how it lit the landscape.

Then they knelt among the yellow wild flowers.  The mother picked one, smelled its aroma with her daughter and carefully examined the lovely, complicated structure that only God could make.

She then held her little girl up to her face.  'Look at me,' she commanded gently.  'What color is my hair?'

'Black, Mommy.  Black and pretty.'

'And my eyes...look at them.  What color are they?'

'Blue, blue like the sky,' she said, patting her mother's face with a childish affection.  

The mother then held her close, looked into her daughter's eyes, 'Now, sweetheart, what do you see in your mother's eyes?'

'Love, Mommy. I see love!'

LOVE IS MORE

Some think that love is all flowers and good times but I think that love is more than just that..

Love is the bad as well as the better, not lived alone but a journey together.

Something that only the closes can share, with communication, respect, and delicate care.

As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted...Isaiah 66:13
