Would Others Describe You As...?
Being of good character and integrity.
An honest person, a compassionate listener,
a hard worker, a loving person.
Loyal to family, to friends and to our country,
despite everyone’s shortcomings.
Strong minded, yet not over powering to the point of being repulsive.
Intelligent in ‘life’ experiences, that others may not be familiar.
Not loud or obnoxious, quiet but heard.
Have nothing to prove, but a world of God’s love to share.
Willing to give, but won’t be taken advantage of.
Love freely and accept openly.
Never judge, yet don’t condone wrongdoing.
In a loving, respectful, yet firm way - speak your mind.
Always there willing to help,
if the person is willing to take that first step.
Learned that forgiveness is for you, more than the one you forgive.
Also learned that the right way is not always the easy way,
But it is by far the best way and most rewarding.
Is this how you would be described?
It is how I would hope to be.
