Chances on Love
A while ago, one of our visitors left a message on this blog. It was under an article that dealt with the sending of love letters to those who matter most to you. The reader wrote the following comment:
“I wrote a love letter once. Was a big mistake though, cuz it was destined to a girl I didn't even know. So I wrote her this love letter. One morning, on the bus I finally worked up the courage to give it to her.
Let's just say it was a pretty bad idea. Moral of this story, never hand out a love letter to a complete stranger.”
I can only imagine the heartache that ensued after he crashed and burned. I’m sure it was pure torture having his bare heart exposed to the one he loved and receiving nothing in return. But when I read the comment, I couldn’t help but smile – not one of those cute smiles that come across your face when you hear something humorous, but a rare smile that can only come from connecting with something truly pure and joyous!
Sure, it’s probably good advice not to go handing love letters to people you’ve never met . . . at least not without the understanding that odds are you won’t get anything in return. But what if you did!? What if we all made a pact to write a letter to someone who we might not have met for any real length of time – someone who we pass every day in the street or the person who works the counter in the grocery store – and took it to them tomorrow? Yep, it sounds crazy, but can you imagine how that would impact that person’s day? Wouldn’t they be taken aback and snapped out of their normal daily routine? Now what if just one percent of the people who gave a love letter actually got a response in return?!? Wouldn’t that be amazing!! How many lives could be changed? So many!
Mind you, I’m not rushing out to write a letter myself. Instead, I’ve chosen to sit down and write this blog. It’s certainly not as bold as handing a few sincere words to a complete stranger, but it’s a start. Sometimes, we just need to roll the dice and nobody should ever be sorry for a chance they’ve taken for love.
