I double dog dare you

Did you ever hear the term "a double edged sword"?  Do you know what it means, what it is?  It is a metaphor for something that can actually help you or hurt you....and it is often not known which.  In the old life game of "win-win, lose-lose"  I'd rate the term as a "win-lose, lose-win" because going in you just don't know or aren't sure.

The love that we have in our hearts...our love for others, for family, for friends, for God....is no double edged sword.  Only a lack of love can hurt others......and ourselves in the process.  In our quest to be better men, husbands, and fathers it is imperative that we not look upon love as a "girlie" thing, but as an absolute necessity.  It is we who have to be ever mindful that the more love we show, demonstrate, and give, the better off our relationships will be.

With that in mind, let's consider a new term, a new reality, a totally new concept for our lives.  Let's do all we can to love with a double heart in our relationships.  It's a guaranteed win-win, and it certainly isn't a double edged sword.

I double dog dare you to try it.
