Loving Unconditionally

In this chaotic world we live in, how many of us can say that we are blessed with someone who gifts us with love unconditionally? Most of us would refer to a parent/child relationship, where love and trust have no boundaries. But what about our other relationships, what kind of foundation are they built upon. Although love may be described in so many ways, having someone love us unconditionally give us the freedom to be ourselves. We don't have to prove we are something that we are not, for they will love us for who we are. All the walls that we build because of our fears come tumbling down because we know we are safe. Being loved unconditionally is a true gift, which should be acknowledged and appreciated. For receiving such a love is to be valued. Today, think about your relationships. Be  mindful of not only the love you receive, but the love you extend unconditionally to others. Know that your love will grow stronger when it is reciprocated.
How easy it is to love our pets unconditionally...

(I never really thought about the different kinds of love that we share with others, but after reading this message, I realized that there are only a handful of people that I love unconditionally. I don't count my children because they are a part of me, so that would be like loving myself. But in loving others come responsibility. It's a serious thing, this loving unconditionally. I have to think more about this.)
