So very true my dearest friend, we sacrifice ourselves in the bargain to gain those lofty ideals, and in the end lose ourselves....Maria xxx

- If we seriously consider how much we are willing to sacrifice in this world - how much are we humans willing to sacrifice to achieve eternal life .... - The way we live is showing what we are really willing to sacrifice and how much this hope is in our hearts :) - A deep and thought provoking writing, my friend - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
