Care is a natural next step for those who love their neighbors. The following acronym helps define the C.A.R.E. progression.
CONSIDER
Begin with listening and considering current conditions. Joining together requires respect of the fact that each person is a unique creation dealing with a unique moment in time. Hearing life from the prospective of those in need prepares us to serve.
AFFIRM
The sun shines behind the clouds during the days of all lives. Helping those with needs to think of positives helps the healing process.
RECALL
History, academia, science, and collaboration create common knowledge relating to conditions and opportunities.
ENCOURAGE
Applying knowledge as an artist at the appropriate time to current situations builds the future. Leaving with encouraging positive thoughts is a requirement.
