Love For Things Unseen

"Do you believe only in the things you can see?

It is the thing not seen that is the most important -- a house is a thing seen, but a home is a thing unseen; a brain can be seen, but a mind is unseen; you can see a mother's face, but not the love behind it; you can see a word, but not an idea; a church, but not God; flags, but not patriotism. " ~Shawn Bremner  

  

 Love, joy, peace, and laughter surround us just like the invisible atmosphere we breathe, but sometimes we lose our faith. Sometimes, we are unaware of the invisible ripple of hope in the outstretched hands.

Sometimes we forget the love for things unseen: for the baby in the womb, for the memory that comes at night of a sweet romance,  or for the dream of peace.

Love is not an easy feeling to put into words, said Bobby Kennedy. Listen to his eloquence here.
