Over the last four weeks, I have had three tests run by my cardiologist. All three have turned out near perfect, which is maddening because before the tests he said that my heart looks great, but because I am 81, we just needed to check, so said he. I guess I should count myself lucky. But then I ask my doctor why my heart aches so much when I watch certain movies. My heart skips a beat when Kevin Costner’s father asks him to play ball in the movie “ Field of Dreams.” And forget whenever a dog dies in a movie, not a man, but a dog, forget it, I’m a big baby; a gulp comes right out of my heart.
I use that same heart to pass love all around. I meet and talk with strangers all the time; I learn their names, let them talk about their interests, and get to know their thoughts and emotions. This allows me to be more open and caring to all the people I meet and see in the world in which I live. I see them, and I love them.
I am so happy God gives us such loving hearts. . . loving hearts to share with others.
