What true love gives...

My daughter and I reviewed the best Spiderman trilogy essayed by trio team perfect - Toby McGuire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco as Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, and Harry Osborne respectively. Of course, we all know the Spiderman story by now, the reboots changed this and that but the core remains. Who would not remember Uncle Ben's famous line - 'With great power comes great responsibility' - a line often quoted in the pulpits, a theme often dwelt on in essays. But today I'd like to pan the attention on the tragic ending, where Harry had to shield Peter from a fatal blow. The best of friends had been on and off with their friendship, much like the growing pains everybody else experiences. Yet, at the direst moment, one turns to the friend for help, and the friend comes to give his all, even his life. That is what true love gives - everything, including one's life. Which reminds me of the Gospel today: Luke 21:1-4 1 Looking up, he saw rich people putting their offerings into the treasury; 2 and he noticed a poverty-stricken widow putting in two small coins, 3 and he said, 'I tell you truly, this poor widow has put in more than any of them; 4 for these have all put in money they could spare, but she in her poverty has put in all she had to live on. When we give, we give all.

true love is putting something in its place, and I don't think it's giving your life completely to someone else, if you are too generous, then you will be disappointed

Yes, it's giving one's life. Generosity returns a hundredfold.

situation dictates what usually required. Better to give than to receive. Meaning when you give you have it that is you are blessed. But sometimes it is a test of faith, friendship, married, family bonds and companionship. Better if you can give love to those you dont know and yet they needed it most. As how Jesus gave his life.

Yes, one can give what is in one's heart, like our Lord Jesus.
