I don’t know if it is attributed properly, I will add it to the quote wall, but I wanted it stand alone for a moment. Especially in light of our conversations about love. Quote:“Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don’t know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them – we can love completely without complete understanding.”
― Norman Maclean
I like the idea of loving without complete understanding. That quote comes from a movie titled: “A River Ran Through it”. One of my favorites.
Maybe it applies all the time, but I’m really seeing it now as the parent of young adults.
