Intent

Listening and hearing are two very different things.  I wish I was able to un-hear certain comments or even just care less about their intent.

My husband and I always seem to do the right things and most of the time the nicer thing just because we don't want to allow negative words and/or people to get the reactions they are pushing for.  We will not sink to their level.

I, as usual, will not lie...it is sometimes really hard.  The overwhelming feeling one gets when we allow a behavior we know is unacceptable, rude or even mean.

My husbands strength is unmatched.  He is the truth.  That person that does nice things because that is who he is.  He never expects anything in return,, he just gives.

I am thankful in every moment knowing that I will have this man walking through life with me, forever.

I invite you to think about this.  Do you have people in your life that just take?  Are your friendships two way relationships?  Do you have someone in your life that will do you a favor and then forever hold it over you or assume they "own" you due to their giving nature?  Comment back - share your view - even if it is not the same as mine.
