Being Human

B elieving in the goodness of the human race means
E ntrusting that God's plan to create mankind in His
I mage will be made fruitful.  He granted us the ability to be
N urturing people and He has given us emotions to show
G enerosity, kindness, and forgiveness to be a viable society.

H ow rewarding it is to be mindful of the needs of others, and
U nified with the humble realization that we are all brothers.
M eek and mild-mannered, modest and merciful to one
A nother are traits that will serve all of us well in our lives.
N eighbors on Earth, we are blessed with life and love from God.

I love sharing with you! I had not read your beauty, my slip up, but happy to be reading your beautiful, Christian based Acrostic now, when I also get to say - YEA US! I'm extra excited and I can't hide it, where I was once discouraged, I am now uplifted and, frankly, savoring it with gratitude. Always gratitude. Hugs ... CayCay
