Five minute Friday.
On Fridays around these parts we like to write. Not for comments or traffic or anyone else’s agenda. But for pure love of the written word. For joy at the sound of syllables, sentences and paragraphs all strung together by the voice of the speaker.
We love to just write without worrying if it’s just right or not. For five minutes flat.
Today's word: Beloved
I don't have a "beloved" so to say, but I do have friends who are beloved to me. They're people I could never imagine living my life without. So, I guess in that way, I am beloved and I have beloved people in my life.
To me the word beloved is something that isn't used often, and therefore when it is used, it shows how much you think of someone. It's a label we give to people we care about, people who are so special they deserve a special label. Being someones beloved is something that people hold dear to them.
Being beloved is special, and it's not a label that's given away lightly. So, even if I don't have a beloved in the usual way, it doesn't mean that they are the only ones that can hold that label. And I have many beloved people in my life, I just hope they know that.
Love,
Natalie

"I have many beloved people in my life, I just hope they know that." God has been dealing with me lately about making sure that not just tell those in my life that I love them but that I show them. That they know they are beloved. Thank you for being another reminder of all the beloved people I am blessed with.
