It is what it is. It's all good

It's hard for me to accept what I know is a truth sometimes.

It's all good.

It doesn't always look that way from here.

When I find myself trying to "make life better" for someone I have to be very careful to just take care of the right things and leave them to chose their own way through life. Whatever they are doing in life, it's what they are needed as here. What they are is not just what we percieve them as, but perfect for the need that they will fill in this life.

We don't often see the perfection of ourselves. We almost never see the perfection in another. Trained to look for the "lacks", we neglect the fine qualities in each other and ourselves.

Each of us choses how to live while we are here within the circumstances we find ourselves in. Hard times make for hard choices. But we keep walking through life. We get up from adversity over and over. We presever. Even when we just hide under the covers from life for a time, we are preserving ourselves for the time we will be needed. Humans are amazing survivors.

Every one of us, as we are, are alive. Some of us are living and some of us are just existing until we can find the strength to live again. But we are making it - with a little help from our friends.

We can make things better for one another. A phone call, a cup of sugar, a ride - all small things. But they show we care and the one we touch knows they are not alone. Maybe sometimes all we can do is love each other where we stand and offer our tears. But we care and we share. People are good.

Accept people as they are. Love them as they are. Don't expect them to be what YOU think they should be. They are what they are and it is all good.

Give lovingly, but walk your own path and do them the great respect of letting them walk theirs.

The hearts are his to heal. The spirits are His to waken. Our only task is to love 'em while we've got 'em.
