When we seek for validity from others we will never find true worth in ourselves. It is not from the outward that causes us to be whole, it is from the all sufficient Savior, Jesus Christ."<BR/><BR/>I am the opposite of you in wanting to be around people all the time and I most often enjoy my aloneness (through the day, with Hubby gone at work)and as I learn to be around people more (which is the way I was made!) this helps me. No person validates you, and I don't have to depend on others to do that for me. It is the Lord in my heart that suffices, no matter who I am around.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for this reminder! Like Tracy says, your posts speak through to others, and have affected me greatly today!<BR/>Hugs & Blessings,<BR/>Tart'Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649798961801869778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051180472045413040.post-14992031372194628542008-07-08T19:56:00.000-05:002008-07-08T19:56:00.000-05:00Hi Denise...this was a wonderful post.

I love having lots of family and friends about too but I'm totally happy being with just my hubby and daughter...I think it just the place where I am in my life. <BR/><BR/>Take care hugs, LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673560576912863177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051180472045413040.post-66904541408222860392008-07-08T19:17:00.000-05:002008-07-08T19:17:00.000-05:00We spent the Holiday weekend by ourselves also and...We spent the Holiday weekend by ourselves also and I can relate with you. But yes it was very special to be alone with my hubby. It just is different and that is ok. We had a great time.

Unfortunately, only my mom is nearby, my four brothers all live out of town (two in another province!)so family get togethers are very few and far between. I had so many friends around me and we'd always get together but that has all changed since some have died and some have moved away...I truly do miss those days. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you and Dennis were able to have a good talk about his hurt feelings. We just don't realize how much our actions can affect those we love. xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051180472045413040.post-2019377878424639882008-07-08T09:06:00.000-05:002008-07-08T09:06:00.000-05:00This is a beautiful posting.

I love it and I love the hands. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to Israel one week from today and plan on taking the shirt with me to sleep in. That way I can keep her and all my blog friends close to my heart while I'm away. It is a bit to snuggle to wear out (but it won't be long).<BR/><BR/>I love your site and will visit again. Have a blessed and highly favored day.

I love the idea that people must learn to love themselves for who He made them. I don't need anyone to approve of me so that I can be happy. That took such a long time for me to get there.<BR/>When I start feeling discontent in myself I know that my eyes have gotten off Him and on myself.<BR/>These lessons you have presented here are such important lessons.<BR/>I wish that it had not taken me so long to learn some of them. But then God has a plan and a purpose for the paths we take.<BR/>I enjoyed this. Some times the toughest lessons are the deepest ones.

How romantic that he wanted to be only with you. I'm glad that you have talked and worked it out. <BR/><BR/>You are my teacher and I always learn something from you when I visit.
