Love

Today another "Ah ha" moment woke me out of a dark slumber I didn't even know I was under.  These moments always seem to happen at the most random of times when I least expect them.  This time I was watching my little sisters wedding video that she had just posted on facebook.  This simple video reversed my skewed views of love and erased anything, and everything that had tainted love in my eyes. I saw SO many examples of true love that immediately drove me to tears.  First of all, can I just say that Matt and Angie are my favorite couple in the entire world?  The word that comes to my mind when I think of their relationship is, pure. They are so desperately in love, but don't need to (and have never had to) prove that to the world by physical affection.  I can just see it in the way they communicate, joke around, or even just look at each other.  I've seen Ang grow so much since she's been married to Matty and I can only attribute it to the true love she has for her husband that motivates her.  So, obviously I noticed the lovely couple because the video was kinda about them.  But like I said, I saw numerous examples of love.  I saw the tender relationship of a father and his daughter, a son and his sweet mother, brothers, sisters, in-laws, neices, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, old friends, new friends, best friends.  This may sound cheesy and cliche but, love is everywhere!  If you think you don't have it, open your dang eyes and you will find it.  Love makes you smile, it makes you laugh, it brings peace, it gives hope, it banishes despair.  Love makes a person completely invincible!  Just as the Beatles said, "There's nothing you can do that can't be done, nothing you can sing that can't be sung... ALL you need is love." As I watched this video, I longed for this time when I was surrounded by all the people that I love who are going to make my eternity, heaven.  I do hope for a husband in the near future that I can love with my whole soul, but until then, I think I have enough to get me by :) My name is Rachel Pitts and I believe in love!

Here's the famous video.  Ang prob thinks I'm the biggest goof for posting this but oh well :) Password is pff
