Who remembers their first Love

 Be honest with yourself; who can remember their first love? The first kiss. How it made you feel inside. Well I can remember my first love. I was very young. I am not sure exactly how old I was but I believe I was maybe about 6 or 7 years old. We lived in a small community, my first love family was our neighbors. Even today I think about my first lovethink about the memories we made and how I treasure them today. We became friends and always outside playing at the playground very near our home. We were unseperatable. His family and my family became not only good friends but they also became part of our community,our family. I can recall one day we were at the playground playing, out of the blues he reached over and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was so young so I remember my response when he gave this kiss. I was very young, a kid so at that time I looked at him and said yukky and asked him why he go and do that?

That day he reached over and gave me that kiss on the cheek he also asked me to be his girlfriend. What I can recall my response to him, I said we are friends, your a boy and I am a girl and we are friends. "No; he would replied, I mean you being my girlfriend so my reponse was okay. Although just being a child you don't understand these things yet, boyfriend,girlfriend stuff. Our parents thought it was so cute and adorable when we would hold hands walking to the playground. As we grew older we became closer and closer and more then friends. I know being with him he made me feel special all bubbling inside.

One day my father said we are moving, this was saddest day of my life because I would never see or be able to play with my friend again. After we moved we lost contact with each other but not a day goes by whn I don't stop and think about my first love, my first kiss. A few later my husband and I however did go and visit my old home where I first met my first love. His family still resides there but Scott moved on and got married. I am 51 years old and even though I love my husband dearly, still a great part of me, my childhood years I think about my first love and my first kiss. I never told my husband about my first love or how I feel inside. When my days are weary and nothing is going right or I am feeling blue, I always have that childhood memory that I can go back to. That memory will always be a very special memory that I can hold on and it does help me to know who I am today and my inner strength. It is hard to explain in such details but how many people can not say, honestly that their first love was special and is a very dear memory.

My first love, my first kiss,it  may be a childhood memory but with all the trauma I went through in my childhood years that childhood memory was all I had that made me feel loved and important and special since I was not getting that from home. That memory helped me in ways it is hard to explain. It made me a strong lady today, forgiving person. It showed me and taught me just how much my precious Saviour loves me. When they say love conquers all, God love is bigger and huge and his love is true and real, His love does conquer all.

John 3:16; states just how much God does love us.
