Integrity. For an educational counseling class, I chose 'Pagkamatapat' as the Filipino translation. Lord, grant me the strength to make this quality a pillar of my life. Translated 'pagkamatapat' pertains to the quality of being strong and true. I could have chosen 'karangalan' or 'dangal' but those words seem to have dignity as a root.
Integrity, I think, is something much more powerful. My mother has it and I think that is what has allowed her to live each day as if it were her last despite the depression, suffering, pain, and what not.
Lord, grant me the strength to live with grace, the strength to face everyday with integrity.
Thanks Jim, Joel, Not Being Eaten By Cush, and other people I am proud to have as friends, distance or divide not withstanding.
How can you descend to anger or futility or madness when you have so much more to do?
