I did this layout for two different challenges. One was for CUC, in their Clue themed challenge game this month, they gave a sketch and asked for a "Professor Plum" layout using purples. SEM asked for a "one word that describes you" layout for their challenge. Somewhat immodestly I picked compassion. I do have a big heart. I root for the underdog. I try to understand why people behave as they do and have empathy for them in whatever situation they are in. I think God gave me this gift so I can be a peacemaker. There are many, many times I fall short of this goal but I do try.
Journalling says: For His own purpose, God gave me a compassionate heart. It makes me want to understand people's motivations for their behavior and also allows me empathy with those who are different from me.
Great layout Linda! I do think compassionate is a good word for you. =) Thanks for entering it into our Scrapping Everyday Miracles challenge.
