“Trust is not a passive state of mind. It is a vigorous act of the soul by which we choose to lay hold on the promises of God and cling to them despite the adversity that at times seeks to overwhelms us.”

Musical Mondays: Gene Kelly- "I Like Myself"
I've never seen the 1955 movie "It's Always Fair Weather" with Gene Kelly, but my Mom found this clip & song...it's a fun bit to watch~ good song, and that skating is wonderful! One of the many lines: "...She likes me, so- I like myself....she likes me, so- so do I..." =)
Of course we shouldn't base our self worth on what others think of us...however when someone likes or loves you it really does make you feel really good!!
I suppose it's a kind of confirmation like...oh, I really must be okay because this terrific person loves me! (and sees something in me I don't yet see or realize I am/have!)
I know, it's not the same thing when your parents think you are terrific....but we DO!
