love thy neighbor

"giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back.  don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours."  unknown.

this came from an email sent to me by my mom. it's something i want to learn.

  1. I do LOVE this thought...but it's not always easy to learn or wait for...but to just have patience that everyone grows and loves at different times and in different ways. But to know that God loves at all times and is so patient to wait for our love in return.

  2. Thank you for sharing this, Anna! Because of something that is going on in my life right now, may I put it on my blog? It is an awesome quote and something I am feeling right now. It's very comforting, actually, to have it in words -- this feeling I have!
