We NEED to know that our own love for others was the real thing and that what we did was done in love. God loves us. That sounds corny, but people - any people - are too fallible to need from. We need to free each other from all of that. We set ourselves up with our "expectations" then blame others when they don't fulfill what we've concocted in our heads. People, all of us, are so imperfect. Be gracious on the outside and work on needing nothing on any level from anyone but God. Pour the beautiful you into the young folks in your life that are still coming around... and don't need them either. Get everything you NEED from the shades of green in the trees, the sparkling stars, and your own heart. This is just a trip through - not a final destination. We are and have all we need, and the sooner we know that the sooner we can find our peace. We just cannot get life to get in line with what we project it should be.
