We are each made for goodness,
love and compassion.
Our lives are transformed
as much as the world is when
we live with these truths.
~Desmond Tutu
The cup of this day
is waiting to be filled.
Let’s make it overflow with
the fragrance of
our inherent goodness,
our innate ability to love,
and our compassionate
yearnings for a
better us and the world.
~Natalie Scarberry
And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence… ~Exodus 33:19 ✝
What a lovely post for the day and good reminder for all to do their best for others, whether family or a stranger in need.

I’ve been away from blogging for a few days Natalie, and this is the perfect post for me to come back to. This totally relates to the loss of my grandson last week. He is gone, but the memories will last forever in my heart. Thank you.
