MIRRORS: A special series of Reflections on Life and Love ❤️
Hi friends!I’ve
always loved doors! In my life, they
represent fresh opportunities, adventures, pointers, lessons, revelations,
celebrations, and more.
In our WP community,
opening doors translates into a renewed appreciation for our beloved fellow
bloggers and their deeply cherished blogs.
Through
my Doors Series, I aim to give our fellow bloggers the gift of sharing a piece
of their world. I
invite them to guest post on my blog and share their message, their story,
their heart. I also encourage them to show how our blogs and worlds link
together in love.
After all, IT’S
ALL ABOUT LOVE. ️
Today, we happily
knock on the door of a dear friend and fellow blogger:
Thank you Yeka for considering me for a guest post on your blog! I am truly and deeply honored! You are so very important to our WP community! Always bringing sunshine and smiles to our days! And your posts are so inspirational and full of love!
I
love Yeka’s theme, “It’s all about love.” That’s what every one of us should be
about. To love as we would want to be loved. I am reminded of one of my
favorite scriptures that sums up what love really is. I love this version:
“…Love
never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want
what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t
force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God
always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the
end.
But
for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us
toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love
extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:3-7, 13 MSG
For
the last couple of days, I have been reminded that LOVE NEVER GIVES UP!
Without going into details, a certain situation really hurt me this weekend.
God never promised that when we love others with all our heart, that they will
in turn treat us the same way. It’s a lot of times the total opposite. People
who love deeply, a lot of times get hurt deeply.
I
wanted and felt like giving up on this person. I was just fed up with the
drama…just being honest…But I was reminded in several of your posts
yesterday and today, that LOVE doesn’t EVER give up, because God never gives
up on us.
We
all need those reminders that it’s all about LOVE. Let the negativity roll like
water off a duck’s back! Don’t let it cling to you. We have to shake it off and
keep loving like Jesus!
I
could share so many ways that love has changed my life. Like tonight for
instance. I texted to check on someone. Long story short, this person blessed
my heart! They showed that love that Jesus loves us with! I was encouraged and
was totally crying my eyes out! Now that my friend is LOVE IN ACTION!
That
LOVE is what my blog is really about. It started with sharing my “Love Tokens”
from God.
A lot of times when I have been praying or going through something, a dragonfly
will appear really close to me or I will find or see hearts in the strangest
places! I feel they are His love letters to me!
There
are others here who are seeing the hearts, as well! I do believe that God loves
us all so much that He wants us to know.
He wants us to know that He understands what we are going through. That He hasn’t left us. He’s always watching over us. He cares, and He has a place prepared for those He loves! I’m excited about that! Heaven will be ALL ABOUT LOVE!!!
I want to thank everyone here on WP—it’s like a network of LOVE. A lot of people here are so kind and love like Jesus! I am so grateful to be a part of this great big family! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! And remember, I’TS ALL ABOUT LOVE!!!
Thanks so much for opening your door to us, dear Renee! ❤️
You speak with such warmth and fervor. We feel your love and passion for Jesus. We feel your sweetest appreciation for our WP family. And we embrace you in love.
May your days be filled with abounding blessings and signs of God’s Love. And may your heart be filled with many more smiles. After all, your greatest gift that you bless us with is your lovely heart! ❤️

Today, we happily knock on the door of our dear fellow bloggers:
Thank you, Yeka for inviting us to do a guest post on your wonderful blog!
By way of introduction, we’re Margaret and Neal, proud owners of the
blog Wandering Together. We’re a Denver-based engaged couple set to be
married in the next couple months, and we started Wandering Together to
document our travels and experiences. In this digital age, it’s easy to
let things pass, as no more than a moment in time, or to forget all the people
and experiences we should be grateful for.
Through Wandering Together, we’ve
made two promises to each other. First, we’ve promised not to let our
most special memories be pushed to the back of our minds by the distractions of
daily living. Second, we’ve promised to
always seek out adventures with each other, and not become complacent in our
lives together.
Through this journey, we’ve learned many important lessons about ourselves as individuals and as a couple. In keeping true to Yeka’s love of love, and in our love of and dedication to each other, we’d like to share a few of those with you.
Lesson 1 – The sun rises and welcomes a new day no matter where you are. Sometimes it welcomes you in a beautiful location where you’ve longed to be (such as Tulum, Mexico where we took this picture), and other times it welcomes you under less than desirable circumstances. Either way, each new day is a new opportunity to show love to yourself and love to others. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by.
Lesson 2 – Sometimes life puts mountains in your way. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to seek the support and guidance of another makes the climb so much easier. After all, the view from the top is always the best one!
Lesson 3 – Don’t let the small things
get in the way of the big picture. Neal and jetlag are a bad combination. Fatigue and hunger make Margaret
hangry. In the big scheme of things, our times of being lesser than our
best selves are brief, while our times of being grateful, happy, funny, and
loving human beings are predominant and long lasting. How is that
possible? By recognizing in each other
that, even in our times of weakness, at our cores we’re always the best
versions of ourselves.
We so appreciate this opportunity to share a little piece of ourselves. If you feel like following along, check out our Word Press blog, Wandering Together. While our blog is travel and lifestyle focused, we hope to always demonstrate that it’s the person (or people) you’re with that matter most.
Thanks so
much for opening your doors to us, dear Margaret and Neal!
Your love and dedication to each other are unparalleled! You inspire us to celebrate special moments and keep them treasured in our hearts forever. You inspire us to stay grateful in our everyday living too.
Life is truly a journey. We value your abundance in sharing your powerful lessons of hope and inspiration.
Our sweet wish is that your journey will lead you to even more awesome travels and adventures TWOgether in LOVE!
IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE
