Judy

Just watched the movie Judy on Amazon Prime about Judy Garland’s life. Just an FYI, in the middle of the movie there’s quite a bit of language.  The movie gives insight into her life and why she was how she was in later years. Such an incredible talent that was abused verbally and emotionally by all who should have loved her.  Her life could have been so different if they had. And yet she brought us the joy of a movie that has stood the test of time and families still watch it to this day...The Wizard of Oz!  There’s such truth in the quote below: 

How we show love to those in our lives matters a great deal. They should know their importance to us and be shown real genuine love. There should never be any doubt in their minds that we love them without any expectation of anything in return. True love expects nothing in return. True love just loves for the sake of just loving. 

What we may have missed having in our own lives doesn’t have to be what we give our kids or loved ones. I’ve always strived to have a better life and be better than the hand I was dealt in life. I don’t let a day go by without my husband and son knowing just how much I them and how much they mean to me. 

The movie, Judy, is a reminder of what happens when we don’t love like we should. May we all love immensely those God has blessed our lives with. May they never doubt how much we love them. May their hearts be filled to overflowing with love to give others because we have loved as we ought.
