Do you ever take time to love yourself?
If someone would have asked me that a few years ago, I would have just rolled my eyes and got back to whatever task I had to complete. Now (post-cancer) I can honestly say that I do. With throwing myself into becoming more faithful than I already was, the following verse really spoke to me.
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:31
If you are not giving yourself the love that you need, you are also not giving the neighbor (husband, boyfriend, child, friend, parent) the love they deserve. Really think about that! Not only is this a suggestion from our Lord, it’s a commandment! It’s obviously pretty important.
So, as we are entering the “Month of Love.” Take some time to learn how to love yourself. Find what makes you happy. Pamper yourself and slow down and just be.
Don’t forget to treat yourself with some great tallow products while you are at it! I honestly mean it when I say I finally feel good in the skin I’m in (scars and all!). Thanks to the tallow I have kissable lips and soft moisturized skin. This makes it so much easier to love myself!
Happy love month all! If you read this, please leave a comment. Give us some good ideas of how to love ourselves. It’s a hard transition for some as we are so used to taking care of others and not ourselves.
