That you do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\">Micah 6:8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there are many Bible verses that I really like, one that I try to keep &#8220;in my back pocket&#8221; is this one. If I can remember this, it helps temper a lot of my faults, especially impatience with myself and others.. &#8220;Do justice\u2026&#8221; For me, this means thinking of what is right under all circumstances, not only when it is easy or convenient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the best of my ability, I try to be a role model, for our boys,&nbsp;my colleagues, anyone else I encounter.. I admit, it isn&#8217;t easy, and it doesn&#8217;t always happen.. but I try to apologize when I falter, and then try again..&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Love kindness\u201d.. I try to be appreciative of others, and see the good around me. No, I don&#8217;t bury my head in the sand, but I try not to hold a grudge, or hold onto negativity. Especially with my physical therapy patients, I try to have a can-do attitude. I often kid them that being a physical therapist is part drill Sargent, and part cheer leader.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Walk humbly with your God&#8221;.. I see 2 parts to this.. walking humbly.. I try to recognize that most good comes from people working together, some up front, some in the background.. but all are important.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking with our God\u2026 I recognize the importance of my faith, and especially in hard or uncertain times, and lean on knowing that God is always with us, to support and guide us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have always loved the &#8220;Footprints&#8221; poem, and gave copies of it to both our boys for their 1st Communions. &#8220;Where there is only one set of footprints, it is then that I (the Lord) carried you&#8221;. I have a cross necklace with that piece of the poem on it, and I wear it frequently&#8230;  it is a good reminder that God is walking with us.. today, tomorrow and forever.. and that is particularly helpful in uncertain times like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lynn Wong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;What does the Lord require of me?
