 A Parable About True Love
The old woman sat on the antique rattan rocking chair.
Her eyeglasses were perched precariously on her nose
as she concentrated on her sewing chores. A gentle
breeze swept the wisp of whitish hair on her temples.
Beside her sat her teen-age granddaughter. She was
like a fresh flower recently bloomed. Without warning
she suddenly blurted out, "Lola, why is true love so
difficult to find?"
The old woman with a kindly face stopped sewing and
touched her granddaughter's head affectionately. After
a moment, the young girl cuddled closer, resting her
head on the old woman's lap.
"Listen and I will tell you why," began the grandmother.
"Many centuries ago, when the world was young, true
love existed everywhere. It was available for the asking.
Because of this, men and women took true love for
granted, so God decided to keep true love." She stopped
and smiled as she gently stroked the young girl's soft
tresses. "God asked a pair of angels to keep true love."
"First, they buried true love in the ground. But man and
woman easily dug it out. Next, the angels took true love
to the highest mountain. But again, man and woman easily
climbed to the top. Then the angels submerged true love
in the deepest sea. Man and woman swam to the bottom
of the body of water and with ease retrieved true love."
"So true love is easy to find," commented the young
girl. "For man and woman will dig, climb and swim."
"Yes ... but finally the angels kept true love in the hearts
of man and woman. Since then, people have had difficulty
searching for true love. For they look everywhere except
in the one place that they should keep it."

Love is.....
Love is patient,
Love is kind.
Love is not jealous,
It does not put on airs,
It is not snobbish.
Love is never rude,
It is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not rejoice in what is wrong,
But rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
Always trusts,
Always hopes,
Always preserves.
Love never fails.
~ I Corinthians 13:4-8 ~ |

EXCUSES WHY MEN FORGET VALENTINE'S DAY- The Florist couldn't find your house, did you move?
- I sent a candygram. Someone must have eaten it.
- The Hallmark Store was closed, and I didn't want to
send less than the best.
- I sent an e-mail card. You never got it? AOL must
have messed up again!
- I left a message on your answering machine to meet
me for dinner. Where were you?
- I didn't know you liked jewelry.
- I thought Saint Valentine's Day was a Catholic
holy Day.
- Your mailman must have been shot in a Post Office
Massacre.
- I thought we would do something different this year.
- I thought it would mean I was making a commitment.
- You didn't remind me!

Ok... Ok.... last reminder, today's the 13th
and tomorrow is Valentine's Day!
....found this one and thought it was cute!
REDNECK VALENTINE'S DAY LOVE POEM
Collards is green my dog's name is Blue
and I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you.
Yore hair is like cornsilk aflapping in the breeze
Softer than Blue's and without all them fleas.
You move like the bass, which excite me in May.
You ain't got no scales but I luv you anyway.
Yo're as satisfy'n as okry jist afry'n in the pan.
Yo is as fragrant as "snuff" right out of the can.
You have som'a yore teeth, for which I am proud;
I hold my head high when we're in a crowd.
On special occasions, when you shave under yore arms,
well, I'm in hawg heaven, and awed by yore charms.
Still them fellers at work, they all want to know,
what I did to deserve such a purdy, young doe.
Like a good roll of duct tape yo're there fer yore man,
to patch up life's troubles and fix what you can.
Yo're as cute as a junebug abuzzin' overhead.
You ain't mean like those far ants I found in my bed.
Cut from the best cloth like a plaid flannel shirt,
you spark up my life more than a fresh load of dirt.
When you hold me real tight like a padded gunrack,
my life is complete; Ain't nuttin' I lack.
Yore complexion, it's perfection, like the best vinyl sidin'.
despite all the years, yore age, it keeps hidin'.
Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie with a RC cold drank,
we go together like a skunk goes with stank.
Some men, they buy chocolate for Valentine's Day;
They git it at WalMart, it's romantic that way.
Some men git roses on that special day
from the cooler at Kroger. "That's impressive," I say.
Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth.
"Diamonds are forever," they explain, suave and couth.
But for this man, honey, these won't do.
Cause yo're too special, you sweet thang you.
I got you a gift, without taste nor odor,
more useful than diamonds...
IT'S A NEW TROLLIN' MOTOR!!
