Even if it hurts. You believe. Put yourself in, their moccasins, Kemosabe. Maybe they've been trudging up rough terrain all their lives. With the cacti and sharp rocks biting into their already worn moccasins. Uphill in the pouring rain. With a load that weighs like an elephant's ***** on their backs. Unable to see for The tears. Maybe they had a bad day. Maybe they have undiagnosed behavioral health problems. Maybe they are in physical pain. Maybe they're immature. Maybe terribly insecure. Maybe they meant NOTHING by that look they gave you or that remark they made. Maybe they did. WHO CARES?!! Our purpose on this planet is to LOVE Even when we are unloved. The test of true character isn't loving those who love you. It's loving those who HATE YOUR GUTS Then when you stand before God you can be assured you did the best you could do down here. He loves those people as much as He loves YOU Love them the same. SoulSurvivor Catherine Jarvis

This write is as much for me as anyone. I have some trolls giving me problems. I could get angry and rail against them. But I won't. Instead I'm going to PRAY FOR THEM and hope they have a better tomorrow.
