good people

Posted on June 28, 2005 | Filed Under general 

I have been privileged to know some good people in my lifetime:

• people who fight to defend other people’s rights
• people who say “I forgive you” … and mean it
• people who seem never to tire of serving friends and strangers
• people who believe in a project and support it wholeheartedly … and don’t care about who takes the credit
• people who can be passionate and articulate about their faith without drawing attention to themselves
• people who live their faith in decisions about lifestyle, investments, career, politics, social life
• people who teach their children about social justice
• people who tell their children about Jesus

I have been so blessed to know some good people in my lifetime …
