Love on turns

Love, Love, and lots of love. However, how do you really define true love? In the bible, it says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects always trusts, always hopes, and always preserves.”1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is composed on poems and songs like… Love moves in mysterious ways it is always so surprising. When love appears over the horizon, I will love you for the rest of my days but still, it is a mystery how you ever came to me which only proves love moves in mysterious ways! However, how can you define true love when you are hurting, stressed, bored, and sick or your partner is dying?

 

There is a real true to life story of a couple here in our country. The couple has been married for three years.Rodel is a very good and caring husband. He has been excellent in providing the financial needs of his family. While Elena was an accountant and has been a loving and most caring wife as she could be. They were blessed with a two-year-old son named Matthew. The family was indeed very happy and near to having a perfect family. After a year, Elena became pregnant again. Everyone was so happy to welcome another child to be a part of their loving family. All was preparing for his birth.

 

When baby Joshua came, it was the same time that Elena was paralyzed. When she gave birth there have been an over dosage of the anesthesia that was given to her. She was paralyzed totally and for the rest of her life she would be on a wheel chair. Depression sets in and questions cannot stop to come. They are indeed a perfect family before, happy and contented until this trial came.Rodel could not imagine seeing Elena on the wheel chair. The sweet and jolly wife that was always there to greet her with a smile. Now Elena could just stare at him and can’t talk.Rodel would always cry on the knees of his wife and embrace her. Elena can just cry and cannot even utter a word.

 

Rodel and Elena until now are still happy and accepted the trial in there life.Rodel decided to stay and take care of Elena for a lifetime. In times, that Elena needed her he has always been there in happy times and rough times Rodel has always been there to comfort her.

For me, love can be found and felt in different ways but true love is rare and should be treasured. I love my wife and my children unconditionally and it will always be. True love takes time; it is not felt overtime in a day. It is made with happy times and rough times as the pillars of that love. It is true love when you learn to love unconditionally without expecting it in return. How about you when you are in this situation are you willing to go through what your partner is going or will you give up and leave her in despair?
