Cherished

To feel that we are loved and cherished in life is one of the great pursuits. 

Consider this:

“And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so?

“I did.

“And what did you want?

“To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth.”

The Poem Late Fragment

Raymond Carver

One of the great heritages a parent can leave a child is the feeling of being loved and adored.  The word “beloved” has some strong synonyms.

   Dearly loved

      Much loved

         Adored

            Favorite

               Darling

Don’t we all want to feel “much loved’?

Isn't it comforting to be adored?

My prayer is that we will find ways of expressing the esteem we hold for the “precious people” in our lives, and may we redeem the moments we have with those close to us.  May they feel “loved” and re-name themselves “the beloved one.”
