Consider this the next time someone you know (child, in-law, spouse, etc.) acts out, acts up, pouts, snorts, stomps or whines:
Love me when I least deserve it because that is when I most need it. –Swedish Proverb

Good reminder!
I think so as well. MJ
How sweet–and so, so true! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
Hugs,
Kathy
Yes – so true. Cheers to you! MJ
Me too!! MJ
First of all, what a precious picture!!! Absolutely adorable. And I’ve heard that saying before. It’s so true, but so easy to forget in the “heat of the moment”.
When I found that photo, I knew you’d love it Dianna. Words to live by .. MJ
Ouch! – Love it!
I’ve been on both sides of that phrase
MJ
Wise words!
yes! MJ
you’re not spending enough time around two-year olds….

I so get this and appreciate when people love me, despite my acting up still.
Yep and yep! MJ
One of my favorites
Mine as well Bella… MJ
Personally, I think the cat is trying to pick his pocket.
Of course, I tend to be a bit of a cynic at times… ;>)
ha! Hadn’t thought of that … MJ
Ah, so true, for children and adults. Unfortunately, so often the opposite is the reality. People are only “loved” when they are at their best. I read once that all love is unconditional. Everything else is just approval. Maybe real love is what we give when people are being unlovable, but we care for them anyway; and we are merely giving approval when people are acting their best. It is much easier to give approval than love. Does that make sense? ~ Sheila
you know what? It does make sense … Thank you Sheila!

Beautiful quote MJ. And that picture is too cute!
I thought so, too. Hard to resist a paw !! MJ
