The Challenge

It’s so easy to love the loveable Those that smell wonderful They are well spoken Mannerly Have the same religious beliefs Political beliefs Possibly close to the same economic status But what of the unlovable They may smell offensive They may be too loud or too crude Rude No religion, Conflicting political views Poor and without status Dressed oddly And quite possibly scary And outside your norm Whatever you do To the least of these You do unto Christ Does that make it easier

Had to read this again because it is so beautiful. What makes this so much more beautiful is that I know that you have Christ in your heart and you truly mean these words! Lovely poem, Laurie. As always, thank you for sharing. Love, Robin
