I care about you.

That means one encourages the beneficial and is patient thru the rest. That one does not give up at the first sign of difficulty, but strives to find the ways of reconciliation. Life isnt easy; short at best...and much too precious.

That doesnt mean I will pity you; but it does mean I will have compassion for all that you suffer thru. It means I will always try to understand and even if I dont, I will still be there to figure it all out. That means I will always want you to be happy and if you're not, then that means I want to be there to comfort you.

That means that I am accepting of who and what you are; in all ways, at all times. It doesnt mean we accept any form of abuse, but that we understand that life and its living is multifaceted and may fluctuate at any given time and we must fluctuate with it. That means I will rejoice at your accomplishments and lift you up in your trials.

It is in the letting go of the past that affords a continued renewal of the future. I will try my best to never assume the worst of you and if I fail, I will admit that failure so that it can be healed.

When Jesus the Christ spoke of forgiving 70 times 7, He meant compassion. It is in compassion that all things shall finally be healed. Everyone has problems; and one is not above another. It is in the understanding that all souls are sacred comes the healing.  We honor ourselves and others by allowing ourselves to feel and share compassion. Allow me to care...
