The "Life Sign" for today reads, "The major theme of my life is love."
I have been stuck, honestly stuck today, not knowing what to blog about. Sometimes there are mental blocks or writing blocks that can get the best of me. (More times than not it is a mental block.)
So here is my thought, I am only going to write on one of the five palettes of love (Words, Deeds, Thoughts, Gifts or Steps) and I will count on you to fill in the gaps.
Thoughts of Love - it was the great philosopher, Descartes that once said, "I think therefor I am." Depending on your philosophical ideologies, we could discuss a lot of different issues and understandings on this one simple statement. I think Descartes, at least according to my Philosophy Professors (who shall remain nameless), helped the understanding of that statement, as this was a proof of existence. Because philosophers doubted and debated much - this was a philosophical break through. But for the sake of our discussion, thoughts are extremely important.
Without really thinking we do nothing, everything becomes a reaction - no thought, no thoughtfulness, just reaction. I often say to my own kids that we have to think before we act, no matter what it is, we must think. Although, thought can easily be thrown out the window without morality (although, that is a subject for another day.)
Thoughts of love, actions are birthed out of seeds of thought. Actions begin as a thought, a spark of intuition and brain power, should I or shouldn't I, it begins somewhere. One of the things that I think we need to do is, put the thoughts of Love in our minds and commit ourselves to trust God for the outcome. Our thoughts must be pure and holy and acceptable to God. Love begins somewhere, may it begin in our minds and come out in our hands and feet!
