Try a Little Kindness
"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see" (Mark Twain).
Kindness is being caring, loving, and considerate. A kind person shows concern for others and is helpful and generous. A kind person does good deeds and expects nothing in return. I learned in the Boy Scouts to practice at least one act of kindness every day. With a little practice we can see the many opportunities to show kindness to others. Something as simple as opening a door for someone or saying "thank you" or offering a sincere compliment for a job well done. It can make a big difference to them and to you. The Bible tells us that kindness is a gift of the Holy Spirit, and we know that Jesus went out of his way to show kindness to everyone. May we too be helping, giving, caring, encouraging, and compassionate to those around us.
Prayer for today: "Dear Lord, we thank you for your loving-kindness. Teach us to be kind to others and to help make the world a better place for everyone. In Jesus' name, amen."
