I have come to realize that to live a life of love is my calling from God. I share here my thoughts, contemplations, and prayers that affirm that calling. They are here for you to consider if it has meaning for your life.

Call to Love for Peace
Each of us is created by God for the purpose of being a Loving person. Though I fail all too often at that and don't consistently live up to it very well or often enough, I do feel blessed and privileged to be called to try to be a Loving person and be an example for others with the hope that I may touch others enough to influence them to be even the slightest bit more Loving and, hence, to spread more peace among us. Of course, it should be far from me to behave in a way that indicates that I am explicitly acting in a Loving manner for people to explicitly notice that my behavior is an example of Love to emulate. It isn't that at all. It is my calling simply to live in a Loving manner to spread peace.

Desire that Another May Have Peace
I’ve sidetracked my focus on Love to the things one does when they Love. They desire the well-being of another, help to ease their burdens, help them to grow, and accept as them as they are for who they are. I’ve turned it around to thinking that doing those things is Love. That has been my moment of doubt, of disconnect. Those things can always be done without Love. But, where there is Love, they will flow. Try as I might, even though I have a clear emotional picture, I cannot adequately put Love into words. The best I can do right now is that Love is a fully unconditional desire that another may have peace.
