Janice Canerdy Poet Etheree

Caring

Do all people we deem “friend” truly care
about us? Probably not. Do we
care deeply about each of them?
Perhaps we don’t! How dare I
say that? Do all of us
sacrificially
consistently
actively
show we
care?
Those
who, in 
a lifetime,
experience
a FEW deep, caring   
relationships with friends
and family are SO blessed!
“I care” should be proven with deeds.
True friendship goes beyond Facebook chats.
Lord, help me practice what I’ve preached today!

Rico Leffanta February 12, 2020 at 12:29 PM Well said, Janice, most especially the last line which should supplant, "Amen!" Aloha! Rico Janice Canerdy February 12, 2020 at 12:39 PM Rico, thank you so much. Janice

Gershon Wolf February 11, 2020 at 10:59 PM But, but, but, but... Caring never came naturally to Mr. Zuckerberg. That's for sure... ~ Find me off of Facebook :) Janice Canerdy February 11, 2020 at 11:29 PM Okay

Line Gauthier February 11, 2020 at 9:21 PM People keep so busy, they're stressed and don't have the inclination to care about anything bu their personal mental survival. There's an epidemic of time wasted playing games on the computer, de-stressing I guess... perfect excuse for not having time to call and say a simple thank you... I just shake my head. Janice Canerdy February 11, 2020 at 9:39 PM Sad but true, Line! At times I realize I have not been compassionate (Hindsight's always 20/20); I pray to be made more caring. THANK YOR for your comments. Janice

Lunita Blanca February 11, 2020 at 8:26 PM A true friend does not sympathize with you weakness; he/she helps summon your strength. Janice Canerdy February 11, 2020 at 8:28 PM Of course.
