Maturity

I read something this morning that I really liked. It was a new definition of maturity. Here's the quote: "Maturity doesn't come with age or intellectual wisdom, only with love." -Ruth Casey

Isn't that a nice thought? The more we open up to love, the less we close out, the more mature we become. This is much better than the typical "be-rational-about-everything" model of maturity that I sometimes try to hold myself to. I may not be getting wiser as I get older, but I sure am learning how to love better. Thanks, God. :)

P.S. The quote comes from the book A Woman's Spirit by Karen Casey.
