Watermelon Loving

I once had an experience with one of my friends, a girl, not a girl friend. Unfortunately due to our friends random murmurings, about our supposed friendship, our lives became incredibly complicated, as did our relationship. You know what its like, we've all been there. Had people joking and chatting behind our backs.One night these murmurings and missed placed advice came to a head. It caused a massive upheaval in our relationship and caused the end of our friendship.
Did i have interests in her like the rumours said?
Yes.
No.
Maybe.
Repeat the question?
I don't know. What i do know is this. Our friendship had suffered a brutal blow and i had no way of fixing it. I wanted my friend back. I liked that we're friends. That was our line.
'i like that were friends.'
Though at second glance this was a tag line to keep our relationship from going further. I liked it. I like that we're friends.
Anyway.
I'm a guy. You know that because my name is Tim. I have no idea how women work, like most guys i am clueless.
But
I wanted to patch things up. Desperately
What could i do? Chocolate, Banoffee Style. Flowers. We hadn't broken up though, youhave to date first. A small mouse in a bow tie singing 'I'm sorry, forgive me' A cleo magazine, A well placed bible verse...
...and the list goes on
Then a whisper
Watermelon
Genius, Watermelon, Citrus Lanatus. a perfect gift. David Livingstone, the famous explorer. said the Kalahari dessert was plentiful with it. That's' where they reckon it originated from, a desert ( and now is a dessert) i really dont know what that has to do with anything but thank you Wikipedia.com. Watermelon is the perfect gift. The thing about Watermelon is this. It is a symbol of love. Not eros. 'Lah-lah-i-want-your-body' love but agape. Love that shares. Love that cares. Loves that refreshes those around it.
Love.
I have decided that i will start taking Watermelons to picnics. Watermelon is da bomb. It can be shared with as many people as you like, depending on how thinly you cut it. It can refresh the dryest saliva drought your mouth has ever seen. It can bring a smile to any mouth it touches. by its very shape. let alone its taste. Mark Twian said this, "It is the chief of this world's luxuries. king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took; we know it because she repented."
Watermelon = Love
God is like watermelon but better
God is Love.
My dear friends. we must love each other. Love comes from God. and when we love each other. it shows that we have been given new life. We are now God's children, and we know him. (1 John 4:7)
I forget sometimes, in my friendships. relationships of all shapes and sizes that. God is Love. He understands love. he gave us the ability to love. The ability to feel how he feels. God in his infinite power could have chosen not to let us know and feel love.
But he did.
God lets us know Love so that we can have a glimpse of how he feels about us. Just a slice of the awesome, un-conditional love God has for us.
A slice of Watermelon.
Just a slice.
But a slice is enough
I know what happened to my friends watermelon. She ate it. Shared it with her small group from Church and with her flatmates
After all that's what love is really about.
Its about sharing
I love watermelon
