followers of my faith [Mormon Monday 72]

I want to marry a meek man. Like, someone asked recently what kind of guy I'm after and my two main criteria are 1) meek and 2) I don't get tired of his company.

And I got made fun of!

But vindication is mine because it says right in the Sunday School manual that the definition of meek is "gentle, forgiving, benevolent."

Yes, please.

I don't like that the connotation of meek is to be a doormat. To be completely unassuming and demure. I admit that I've used it in sort of those terms in my own writing before, but I think meekness is a characteristic to be encouraged, not laughed at.

I wish I were more meek. Because then I would inherit the earth and that's, you know, a good goal to have.
