'Life isn't about how to survive the storm,but how to dance in the rain.' It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?' He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.' I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life.' True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be. 'Life isn't about how to survive the storm,but how to dance in the rain.' Angel looking 4 her wings.. I will loosen myself from what has held me in the past, and from all the things that claw at my soul and threaten to pull it away from Gods purpose. In Him, I need never worry. God is God–be humbled. God is good–be encouraged. God is great–be thankful [post 116968] This is Mia's blog and worth reading. It blessed my soul.

Nice story. I actually had a man like that in one of my churches. He only got a break every other week for about na hour so he could come to church. This for somewhere between five and seven years and then for some time after I left. Amazing example of love and strength!

You will find that kind of person. Be patient. That is what I want as well. I read a book recently that I think should be required for every person getting married. "His Needs, Her Needs" by Willard Harley. This is the way two people should treat each other and if they followed this book, marriage would be wonderful in health and sickness.

So romantic and true!! I have danced, both litteraly and figuratively, with a lady in the rain as we waited for the sunshine!! Even though God made nature very strong, No storm is strong enough to never end!! Rain or shine we should dance and be thankfull for the blessings God sends our way!! Now the waiting part....for Him to send someone to dance with again!!

Now that was a post worth reading. Thanks, it gave me chill bumps. Not only would I want to be loved like that Angel, I want to able to love like that. Sorry, if that is too transparent Eph 2:10 We are his workmanship (poiema, or poem, or work of art) created in Christ Jesus. God is an artist and you are His masterpiece!

. Dancing is unconditional with no limitations. Dancing with integrity. Walking them home in the rain when the time comes. Dancing with another if blessed, who will walk the other home? What is love? Who loved us? Loved? ? . Meow ? .
