Hi friends – To my Canadian friends Happy Canada Day! There are a variety of ways people celebrate Canada Day. I hope each of you enjoy your traditions knowing that we live in an amazing country that is worth celebrating. I can’t help but think of my dad. He served his country and community in a variety of roles. The highlight for me was him serving as a RCMP officer. People who knew him said he was a kind and gracious man. He served as an RCMP officer well and left a lasting impression on those he connected with.
The word gracious means to be kind, courteous and pleasant. The Greek word for grace is pleasing or charming. I believe that when my dad connected with people throughout his career he was able to be gracious and kind. He left people feeling appreciated and supported. It isn’t always about solving the problem but being gracious, kind and caring.
I love being Canadian and the diversity that our country represents. Let’s have connections with others that are filled with grace, kindness and care this weekend and always.
Dedicated to my dad – Thanks for being a great example of love, care and kindness.
Until next time my friends remember you are known and loved by God. Blessing!
