As those of you who actively follow my blog know, last week I
shared a post about the way that we live not-so-loving lives, how we treat
others in not-so-loving ways, and how we need to live with “open hearts.” If you
haven’t read that post, you’re going to want to go back and read it, because
that was just the beginning of everything I have to say about that particular
topic. This post is just the first of many that will come after the one I shared
last week, so if you read that one first it will give you a little bit of
context.
Last week, I shared that I had just finished a book that I loved,
and that taught me a lot about what it means to love, but what I didn’t share
as much about is that it also taught me a lot about what it means to live alive. That’s something I want to talk
about today. In Secrets Over Sweet Tea,
Denise Hildreth Jones writes about being alive.
Really alive. And ever since I read that book, that’s something I truly want to
be, and that something that will help us to really love.
