Would you choose to hate or to love?
" Why did you love me, what did you like in me?"
I always had this question and seems not to believe that a handsome looking guy like my husband would love a simple looking lady like me.
My husband would then jokingly reply "Because your cup is "C"." followed by a laugh. (Well, for the ladies, I guess you know what he meant) Of course, that answer is not sincere. He had told me for the _th time that he love me just for no other reason at all but because I am me.
I am a bit taller than my husband but that did not make him a less of a man in my eyes. My love for him was enough for me to see that he is the tallest guy in the whole wide world and that is enough for me.
Like what the Proverbs say:
Proverbs 10:12
New International Version (NIV)
New International Version (NIV)
Kawikaan 10:12 (Tagalog)

Biblia (TPV)
Sati-saring kaguluhan ang bunga ng
kapootan, ngunit ang pag-ibig ay pumapawi ng lahat ng kasalanan.
In the 23 years of our relationship, we do also had arguments and discussions. I have seen a lot of stories in the movies how a couple would choose to hate each other and concentrate on seeing what seems to be lacking to one another which would later on create a conflict and result to separation or divorce. I am glad we did not try and never dare going into that point.I am glad our love is much bigger than those arguments and conflict.
I cannot sleep if he is angry with me or me angry with him. I would rather clarify matters first before we go to bed...to get what would sooth me or forgive and understand. I choose to love...love everything about him that I disseminate all his shortcomings and give no room for hatred.
As a mother or a parent, I feel the same for my kids. I guess we all are...that is why NO PARENT WOULD SAY THAT THEIR KIDS ARE UGLY because we love them so much. If some parents had a heart to say their kids are ugly, well, maybe they have their own reasons but for me all my kids are good looking and the best.
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Let us choose to love than hate...for hatred cause so much pain and problems... not only to our family but to our friends, colleague and people that came into our lives. Plant the seed of love that bears the fruit of patience and understanding, hope and forgiveness...that we may learn to give others a chance to live a happy life. In this world, Lord, No one is perfect. We need love to conquer all. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Lesson Learned:
The power of love is immeasurable.
I'm always a "lover, not a fighter" :) I agree with you, Hatred stirs up conflict! Thanks for the post. I really like this, especially the prayer in the end.
TumugonBurahinPraise the Lord. Sis Anne! God bless!
BurahinI'd choose to love always! :) This is a good reminder to start another week. Thanks, sis!
TumugonBurahinHave a great week, Sis. Meikah! You are most welcome! God bless!

TumugonBurahinPraise God! Itd a nice choice Bro. Ron! God bless!
BurahinLove conquers all! I also have no time to hate!!!
TumugonBurahinVery true. Sis! God bless!
BurahinThat was my neverending question when hubby was still the bf. A lot of girls fawn over him. Then I trusted him more, it's a matter of choosing and that I think time is short so I would rather love him now with all my heart then experience it later for being afraid of all the hate.
TumugonBurahinAmen to that, Mys! God bless!
Burahinchoose to love even if... same thing with my husband, so hard to answer why i love him so. we always end up, what's NOT to love?
TumugonBurahinaw! so sweet talaga! God bless!
BurahinVery well said Sis! I have learned a lot of lessons in life especially about relationships. I had my shares of ups and downs but I never regret that I have loved wand was loved. That's a wonderful feeling that shouldn't be set aside. We get hurt in the process, that's a fact, but having experienced it is enough to take the bitter sweet of life.
TumugonBurahinIndeed, Sis. Krizia. God had blessed you with experience in preparation for a better life and love. Hurray!.. for a stronger Krizia. God bless!:)
BurahinI'd rather love than hate but depends, sis. I'm only human and I still feel this emotion especially when someone tries to belittle my family. Btw, would you like to be each others' follower?
TumugonBurahinOne can be angered when hurt..that is very understandable but as we gain our senses back..I like your choice..Love! I would love that idea..lets follow!!! God bless!
BurahinIn relationships there up and downs, misunderstanding but along the way, the LOVE is more powerful than hate.:) nice post!
TumugonBurahinAmen. sis Melgie! God bless!
BurahinI would rather choose to love then hate as it will only make one so bitter. good to know that you will work out your disagreements.
TumugonBurahinyes, with God's guidance we were able to work out what ever issue we had...seems love is always working. We all pray for this.God bless!
BurahinI would choice to love.. a good relationship always find ways to work out any differences.. love..love..love..

I agree! Praise God!
BurahinJust yesterday, the boyfriend and I had a fight. Things were said, and I even asked him to go home to his mom, but when things cooled down he sent me a message and I'm pretty sure all will be well. He'll be coming home here from work. It really is a choice, everyday. And it is so easy to be carried away with anger, but it also not so hard to choose love - all the time. Truth is, I don't get angry a lot anymore, because I have long accepted that there are things I cannot change and there is more to love. :)
TumugonBurahinohh..that is so sweet.So true Sis Vera, there are things that were created and we just have to let it the way it is. I'm glad you choose love and always forgive. God bless you and you boyfriend! love..love..love!!!
BurahinLove of course. It's a nice feeling to experience pain because you know you have loved. :)
TumugonBurahinhmmm..I don't know why, but your simple comment sounds sweet! :)
BurahinI always choose to love. And aside from love, trust and respect should always be in a relationship.
TumugonBurahinthat's a bit love story of yours, nabitin ako hahaha....love conquers all
TumugonBurahinLove of course. Staying in love should always be a work in progress. I admire your 23 years of love. I hope we can get there too.
TumugonBurahinFrom all what we went through, I still choose love. I can't explain but I can always feel love that's why I choose love no matter what. :)
