Before you judge my life, my past, or my character, walk in my shoes. Walk the path that I have traveled, live my sorrow, my losses, my doubts, my fears, my pain and my laughter. Remember; "Judge not lest ye be judged." Everyone has their own story! When you have lived my life, THEN you can judge me!
Live and learn - really - seriously? I have a friend that is wearing a device to keep her close to home. Crime - tax evasion. She is my best friend since childhood and one of the most loving people I know. Another close friend of over 30 years, another with one of the biggest heart I have ever known. Hasn't taken the best care of herself. Results stage 3 breast cancer; my heart aches. Have chosen to love someone that not too many people understand or tolerate, but I see the pages inside the cover and I love him. My mom is struggling big time with her short term memory. Short circuit in the brain from some strokes. High risk alzheimers. Again, my heart aches.
ME? I understand the heart of God that promises peace if we follow HIS son by, "loving the Lord God with all our heart, soul, and mind". It means choosing to do HIS will & not leaning on our own understanding - following in HIS steps. I have strived to serve and love and accept no matter what - compassion. Some say that this puts me in a position of vulnerability to be taken advantage of. Could be - probably so. But I will choose my heart. Can be accused of choosing my heart over relationships. Unconditional love dictates NOT.
Not really good advice - but sometimes tempting
I am just tired. I seem to leap into life without thinking through the possible outcomes of the decisions I make. Stresses me out at times, results in melt downs and the tendency to shut out life now and then & every now and then I get plain bitchy. But I like to think I stay positive and keep trudging forward.
This picture was showed up on the image google in criticism. Perfect to break a smile to end this post ;-)
