What is Romance/Love all about

-

 


I want to broach on the subject of romance a little bit. I want to talk about it, explore it, and know what it means to be romantically involved with another person.  Does your body have to respond a certain way? Or are you just calm and sure about what you want?  Is it about dates or outings or getting to know one another? What does it mean to be romantic? Are you in a kind of love dance? What is it? What should it be? What does it entail? Is it another name for love? Or perhaps a relative of love? Can one be without the other or are they both needed for two humans to come together in matrimony?  Romance.......what exactly does it entail?

Why are two people who have chosen to come together said to be romantically involved? Why not lovingly involved?  From what I have gathered from Merriam Webster, the word romance derives from the old French vernacular Romanus, meaning rome or roman.  This word was often used to narrate the chronicle adventures of knights.  This word also has two meaning; the first is a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with Love. The second is a quality of feeling of mystery, excitement and remoteness from everyday life..


The best romance movie I have ever seen is the notebook. It depicts what love is supposed to be, and what it is, but only for a few.  It's possible to be in-love, get married and as each year passes by, be more in-love with the person than you were when you first met one another.  Love is meant to evolve not remain stagnant.  The more you explore each other, the more you know about one another,  the more in love and romantic you become.   Love is like a tree or a plant, it never stops growing as long as you nourish and care for it properly. You always find new ways to love one another, you always find new ways to care for one another, you always find new ways to stay in-love.  And that is what romance is all about.  And that is no fairytale.....

    It's so weird I have never watched the notebook. I am sceptical about any Hollywood movies. But after this post I may just give it a try.

    Oh my goodness 😍. You will love it. I think the reason why we tend to be sceptical about Hollywood movies is that they only ever show the good side of love. Every relationship has its up and downs because at the end of the day, we are only human. But it is possible to love someone for the rest of your life and never letting that love waver.

God's Magnificent Love towards us

-

I think 🤔 one of the most important things I have learnt in life is God's magnificent love towards us.  I don't mean feeling or knowing He loves us, but understanding and having knowledge of His love towards us.  I have always struggled with faith and struggled with accepting where I am and where God has taken me.   I have always complained about this and that, never satisfied with what I have and what God has given me. Never wondering if there are lessons to be learned in all these and reasons for God doing what He is doing. Nevertheless,  when I began to gain knowledge and understanding of God's love, it led me to a better understanding of faith and who God is. I mean His love is so pure and so true that His thoughts towards us are of good not of evil to bring us to an expected end!  EXPECTED NOT UNEXPECTED! Meaning an end that is going to happen. When we have an understanding and knowledge of the love God has for us, we can trust Him and have complete faith in Him. He l

The Principle of Free Will and The Invincible Forces That Govern This World

-
Last year on this blog, I wrote about the fault being in us and not in our stars and how our actions are a ripple effect that governs the things that will eventually take place in our lives. I spoke on the principle of sowing and reaping. However, since then, I have come to realize that there is much more to life than us and the decisions we make. Whether we choose to believe it, we do not govern ourselves. There is a reason why the bible states that the whole world lies under the influence of the evil one. Ephesians 2:1-3 states that  God quickened us, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past, we walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. As you can see, free will

The fault is in Us

Shakespeare was right when he said that the fault is not in our stars but in us. The fault is indeed in us.  We are the problem.  And instead of us taking responsibility for our own actions, we choose to shift that responsibility to "fate".  An invincible force that supposedly determines the steps of human life..   This is what we refer to as our stars!  I believe in God and I believe He directs our steps when we choose His will and His way.  But most times, we tend to use the concept of free will to argue ourselves out of holes we used our own hands to dig ourselves into.   Look at the children of today! They are growing up with no role models, protection, or direction.  They are growing up in a world that has been perverted.  A world where some people want to consider pedophilia as a sexual trait instead of a crime.  Free will and the freedom to do as one pleases has been taken so much out of context, that people commit crimes based on rights.   We have created laws with lo
