I know we think the opposite. Love is getting and getting and getting more. It's limitless. We certainly don't want to be giving and giving and giving on end. That wears us out. But, the truth be known: Love is giving, all the time, in all kinds of ways, at mostly inconvenient times. When we realize that, it will make giving a lot easier. Expect to give. Desire to give. Experience the joy of giving, by giving love.
So true - it's just always hard to find the balance - ya know? Some times I am giving and giving and end up getting burned out. Sometimes I am not focused on giving and become so "me" centered that all sorts of things become prioritized incorrectly. Balance, patience, looking for all the moments we can receive love and all the moments we can give with a full heart.
