Using the prompts from @sanctifiedart,
I am enjoying the opportunity to share
the “Words for the Beginning”
each day with you during this Advent season.
Today’s Word is:
GOODNESS
When I put the prompt in AI, it generated
an assortment of blond, blue-eyed,
smiling 20-year-old females.
I kept asking AI to try again until finally it
generated something different.
I got this!
Goodness me!
That’s not what the word conjures up in my mind.
When I think of goodness, I think of the innocence
of babies and young children
and the unconditional love of our furry friends
(maybe that’s what that AI image is depicting).
These are the images that come to my mind
when I think of the word GOODNESS.
I also think of the goodness of a meal lovingly prepared
and shared generously with friends.
I asked Bob what image comes to mind
when he hears the word GOODNESS.
His answer surprised me. He said,
“Mothers… and the loving environment a good mother creates.
THAT’S GOODNESS!”
The goodness a good mother exudes
is certainly multiplied when she has
the support of her children’s father, too.
Loving families RADIATE goodness!
What does the Bible say about goodness?
There is more about the root word, GOOD,
than there is about GOODNESS.
So, goodness is a God-like quality in people.
It is a purity and innocence in children and animals.
It is a gift of delectable taste from a skilled chef.
It is a unifying force in a family.
You don’t have to be a 20-something, blue-eyed blond
to exhibit goodness!!
You are in the land of the living…
and goodness is in you
and all around you.
All you have to do is open your heart to it
and exhibit the goodness that is in you!
Aren’t you grateful for that?
What image does the word GOODNESS bring to your mind?
Join me again tomorrow for another
Word of the Day.
Love ya,
JanBeek
P.S. My maiden name is DeAngeles.
It means “Of Angels.”
Do you see the angelic goodness in me?
