I believe...

I'm not typically a forwarder on-er or repost-er, but I sent this to someone over a year ago and it came back to me from that same person today. It has so many truths in it and it was what I needed to hear this morning. Maybe you need to hear something from it too...

I Believe....

And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had, and what you've learned from them... and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
