Joy, Hope, and Kindness

Some celebrate these three: 
Faith, hope, and charity,
But I’m inclined to confess:
Joy, hope, and kindness --
Joy, a reward for faithfulness,
Hope brings future clarity
Kindness is the grand prix!

Bill Baker Date: 2/9/2022 4:52:00 PM Great entry for this contest, should do well. Basically, WOW! I really liked this one, a FAV. Bill Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 2/9/2022 5:17:00 PM Aw, thanks a lot, my friend. I can truly say that I was having a lot of trouble coming up with something for this contest, and this just came to me almost in a flash. I was, of course, thinking of the love chapter in I Corinthians.
