Day 3 - My FIrst Love

Wow - well, the Bible says our first love should be the Lord, (and He is!) but I'm thinking this means as in human love.  I guess we'd have to define "love".  The dictionary says love is " a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person; a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend; a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart." (etc., etc., etc.,)
I have a lot of friends I love and of course, I love my family.  I have had "boyfriends" that I thought I loved, but I guess my first real love was Dale.
I define it this way.  When I was in my senior year of high school, I worked at a place called National Bellas Hess - it was a mail-order place.  Two of my friends, Pam and Patti, worked there, too.  Pam got engaged that year (as did one of my other friends, Esther) and we three girls would sit and discuss her upcoming wedding on our break.  Pam was so excited to marry her David and one time was telling about the pretty negligee she had gotten for their wedding night.  Well, I just could NOT imagine being married and doing what married people do!!  I mean, YU-U-U-CK!!  It's like thinking of your parents "doing it"  (Shiver).  That's how I felt until two years later when I met Dale.  I don't know if you believe in love at first sight, but I do, because that's how it was.  And suddenly, getting married sounded pretty good!
So, I'd have to say my first "human" love was (and is) Dale.  My first love, though, is my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

See you tomorrow!
