Diligent

That's what I want to be, more than anything.
To me, diligent means humble, teachable, trying to learn and grow, caring, making an effort.
Mark said diligent means 'effortful' to him. To me, Mark is a diligent person.
He is also fun And he loves me
I want to be an example of diligence, and I'm grateful that I know diligent people
that I can look to as an example.
I think my children are diligent. They are very consistent in behaving as they think they should
And they're very caring.
They want to learn and grow
And they're fun
I see us as what Heavenly Father will help us to become
IF we are diligent
Filled with love as Paul was;
Heavenly Father's servants
I want that for each of us
And all of us
Everywhere

Noodle a la Poodle,

I want to be diligent too, and I think you and Doc are both good examples of diligent servants. I haven't talked to you for forever! Every time I call, nobody answers the phone! Hope you guys are doing all right.

I like these thoughts. I am between you two- I think diligent means work, but that's it's okay. I'm glad you think we are diligent. :) I think diligent sometimes is just keepin' on keepin' on. But there's a whole lot of power in small daily acts.
See you this Saturday! Yea!
