Sounds simple enough.
Kind? Generous? Compassionate? Loyal? Forgiving? Caring? Honest?
Now go a little deeper…. kind to people you know and people you don’t? Generous to not only your family but also to people in obvious need? Compassionate in not only words but supported with action? Loyal even when it’s undeserved? Forgiving the seemingly unforgivable? How about caring even when busy with life’s demands? Honest even when the truth can hurt?
What do you truly want to be remembered for and how’s that working out? Today might be a day to tweak some things (or maybe a complete overhaul). I know I’d love to be remembered for all of those things and plenty of other positive attributes but I’m not always kind…give me a customer service rep on the phone who doesn’t seem able to help me after I’ve been on hold for 20 minutes and I’m gravitating toward unkind in a heartbeat. My forgiveness meter runs hot and cold (clearly in need of a repair). I’m getting really good at the honest even when it hurts but then feel like I’m teetering on unkind….
we’re all a work in progress, aren’t we? Some are at the starting line and most of us are on mile 22 of the marathon, feeling a little like a wet washcloth. It’s ok- I think we’re supposed to feel the nudge of “I can do better” and “I can finish this race strong”.
How do YOU want to be remembered?
Be blessed,

Yep! We are all His work in progress! I get up everyday now and say today is going to better then yesterday! Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t. No more condemnation for me! God has got me! Let it go! Be better! <3
