Changing Destiny

Wisdom grows with each encounter Obedience to His voice minimizes self How we treat others molds our reward Our words create our destiny or demise Our future lies in how we treat others Kindness reaps kindness and just rewards Trampling a soul staggers what our future holds If one steals joy from another, they lose theirs Planting tainted seeds soils the life of the planter Nurturing seeds in the water of life heals the giver Moistened soil bears eternal fruit and lasting increase Sadly many stagnate themselves with their own words More energy is spent on anger and prejudice actions Where righteous responses are effortless and priceless Actions of negativity draw negative forces to them Seeing a glass half-full draws success to the soul Take time to walk in another’s shoes and life Before you respond to their actions, lead or destroy All is destined to be by the actions we produce What we eat shows in our body as words we say reflect Creating sorrow for others only decays Our own life force and happiness which As we well know, happiness is a choice A smile is free, a helping hand brings honor Written for our future Generational choices Carole Cookie Arnold

Carole, each of these stanzas could stand alone in their wisdom. These are my sentiments too, and you have written them beautifully to be passed down and appreciated by so many. Blessings
