Today I am grateful for love.  I’m not talking about the romantic kind of love (although that’s good too!)  I’m really referring to love as a power…the power of love.  Huey Lewis was getting somewhat close when he sang about the power of love (btw: here’s a fun 80’s video long-version of the song with Back to the Future’s Christopher Lloyd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFaXTcR4dtE) .  Fun, but not quite it.

I’m talking more about the ability of love to uplift, transform and heal.  Yes, the power of love can uplift, transform and heal anyone.   I am grateful for all the times a friend’s words, or hug has uplifted me.  I am grateful for the transformation my life has undergone because I’ve opened up to allow love to fill my heart and overflow…spilling out into my world.  I’m grateful for the relationships that have healed because of the power of love.   I am grateful for loved ones who have healed physical illness through the power of love.  

You may have experienced what I’m talking about. If so, I hope you’ll share your story with us here.

We can also think of love as an energy…the energy on which the universe runs…and was created.  In fact, an acronym I use for LIFE is the Love Intelligence Fundamental Energy which creates, guides and governs the universe.  Life itself begins with love.  And love infuses all of creation.  When we open up to see this love that permeates all of creation, we begin to see differently and we begin to live in a different world.

Louise Hay talked about love as an avenue or vehicle, and once said, “The totality of possibilities are yours to have, and love is the vehicle on which to receive it.”  That idea allows us to see that when we are aligned with the vibration of love, we are aligned with the energy to create our dreams.   If, in fact, love is the energy with which all things are created, then it makes sense that when we are in that energy we become creative, powerful beings.
