love.

i could write an endless lists of things i am thankful for, but i won't.

i have rolls to make, and asparagus to roast.
instead i will tell you what i most thankful for...

i am so very thankful for love.
love frees us from the heavy, nasty weight of hate.
love raises us up out of the shadowy feelings of despair.
love heals wounds that you never thought would heal.
love makes us better.
love makes us who we are.


Jesus died for us, and that was because of his infinite, encompassing love.
my parents raised me in a home full of love.
i learned best from the teachers that taught out of love.
i found who i was, through love.

and my heart is complete, because of the never ending love ted and i share.


not to sound cliche, but the beatles (i bow to their infinite awesomeness) had it right...

all you need is love.

happy thanksgiving.
