It seems to me that the older I get, the smaller circle has become in my life of people I can trust. If you are friendly, outgoing, creative, with a lot of projects going on because of that endless energy going thru your being on a constant basis; you'll get what I call "haters" coming at you. "Haters" are people who 1) don't like themselves, 2) don't take time to love what God loves about them, 3) just plain old jealous!!
Life is just too short and important to waste your time on trying to get people to accept you for who you are. "Bless those who curse you, pray for those who despitefully use you, & love your enemies." Those words from God takes MUCH Grace from the Lord to take place in our lives...
