Despite meaning quite the contrary, the word, “diversity,” has gained a surprisingly narrow definition and/or connotation in recent times. The second you say, “diversity,” most people jump to inter-ethnic interactions or critical race theory — neither of which I’m going to discuss today.
Also, I was so struck by Mother Alden’s sharing how God helped her to care for her early senile husband who died later. Explaining to the non-believing Clara what the Lord said, the older woman set her cup back on its saucer and said “He said if I couldn't love Jim for Jim's sake, perhaps I could love Jim for His.” 🥰Mother Alden took another sip. “Whether Jim remembered me or not, he still mattered to me more than to anyone else. Forgetfulness does not excuse unfaithfulness.”
Amazing. Love it.
I love this post SO much. I can’t even tell you! WELL DONE my gorgeous girl!
Fab! Our 10-year-old granddaughter through 4H has just become a peep mom!
Thankful for you broadening our understanding on the meaning of diversity with this fantastic brush stroke. Keep painting with your words.
Seeing younger pre-grandparent photos of grandparents helped me to stop and think of them as contemporaries and with compassion! Enjoying this!

Crucial life lesson throughout the universe!
