mmmmmm

wow i just had the most amazing dinner at Caitlin’s house.  it totally made me let go of all the crap i had to do today.  I love Caitlin and Becky a lot.  and we had a great quest meeting before that which also made me really happy.  we talked about that one reading on love:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.  When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.  Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.  And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (Corinthians, i think)

How amazing a love would that be.  And it is amazing to me that the love described is meant to be the love that god has for us.  to love someone so unconditionally that nothing they could ever do could change that is so unfathomable to me.  i can’t wait until i find that kind of love.  but then, i am a stupid girl, and a hopeless romantic…

by the way, I am SO happy right now… and why?  who knows.  these types of feelings are what make life worth it all.
