Sparks of Love

Love is deep and enduring.  Its presence, often missed, runs in the backdrop of living our lives. Yet, there are fleeting moments, when it sparks.

Holiday shopping with my girls, in our charming little town, sparked this love.  It was there throughout the night.  While driving home, as we were singing along to a song on the radio and laughing, love sparked.  Breathing in love and gratitude, I stopped to notice this magical moment in time. 

It sparked again this Thanksgiving, as family and friends gathered.  Sitting in the space of love’s presence, I watched it spark, as conversations flowed and hugs exchanged.  Its presence made itself known again, during the laughter from stories past, to the sharing of children’s accolades, of days present.   Love weaves itself throughout our days, sparking here and there, hoping to light our way.

As the holidays approach, where can you notice “sparks of love”? It is there, sometimes in the quiet, but often in the noise and chaos.  Look beyond the surface.  Feel it beneath the trimmings and decor.  It is subtle, but profound.  As gifts exchange, they become tokens of these “sparks of love”, igniting the world with light.  May your holy days be filled with infinite “sparks of love”, brightening your heart and those around you.
