The festive garb she wore was not a declaration of her belief system. Strangely the wardrobe fit her personality whether or not it spoke of her own faith. Her jovial demeanor and her contagious smile, though not intended to spreading holiday cheer, were simply embedded in who she was regardless of the season or her surroundings. And while she could bring a smile to any heart, her reality brought out tears and compassion in truck loads. For just one glimpse at the rumpled holiday sweater, the tattered skirts, and her overall disheveled appearance and smiling hearts bleed knowing she wears the gaudy atrocious-looking sweater just to keep warm.
what a crazy day yesterday turned into...but i suppose 'tis the season...anyway, i finally managed to get around to Three Word Wednesday [3WW=belief, festive, rumple(d)]. it took me awhile trying to veer away from using believe instead of belief, but i managed it in the end.
brought out compassion and tears in truck loads...excellent phrase
ReplyDeleteMy belief, even in this festive season, is that you used the three words well.,,
