DIGNITY

When I see the trees that I walk by the word dignity comes to me. They stand so straight and tall and when the great winds come they bend but do not break. Nature has many lessons for us to learn. It communicates dignity and divinity and the capacity to grow even in difficult places. I believe that our minds can reason and through reason see two sides of a point of view and thus dignify another persons point of view.

Religion was created to help us see the divinity and dignity in others.  Encouraging creative thoughtfulness in recognizing our own sense of worth so that we value the good in each other.

Dad had his walk in the park before we went in to have a cheerful visit with Robbie and Chuck.  They make cookies right there in the kitchen and the whole place smells wonderful.

Dad met the girl with the two old dogs, one is blind and one has a heart condition.  They love it when dad throws the little football for them, but the wee blind one has a hard time finding it.  Today they heard a noise in the woods and went barking and sniffing and running back and forth.  Suddenly the oldest dog collapsed at their feet.  What a terrifying experience, as neither one of them could carry the dog out to the car.  He slowly was able to regain consciousness and walk with them out to her car.

The girl was so thankful to have dad there.  Sometimes we are in the right place at the right time! !
Dad is happy when he meets the dogs who are are happy to see him too.
