I was in my hometown of Grand Junction, CO this week for the first time in about three years, and I was fortunate enough to spend some wonderful time with lots of wonderful people while at home. While catching up with my friend and one of my personal sheroes, Terri, we got onto the topic of Love and its incredible power. While talking, Terri mentioned that one of the most important lessons she has learned in life is that people “have no capacity for love.”
When she first said that, I was taken aback. After all, I am used to using the term Capacity as “the capability to perform or produce.” I thought, “It is so unlike Terri to think that we have no capability to perform or produce love.” However, Terri was referring to Capacity in more the sense of “the maximum production possible.” Simply said, we can never run out of love. She told me of when she had her first child how she had thought that there was NO WAY she could ever love anything as much as she loved that child. Then came her second child, and her love grew to hold two. Then came her third child and her love only grew some more. Today she works with young people, and her love only continues to grow.
