Let's take the time to be kind

We always try to remind our kids, and ourselves, to be kinder to people than you have to be because you never know what someone is going through. It doesn't take much to be kind. Yes, it takes a little more effort to be kind to some folks more than others. Yes, there are times that we really don't want to be kind. But, it really doesn't take much to be kind.

I read a story where students at Valley Christian High School in Chandler, Arizona gifted their Spanish teacher on his last day with a pair of 2012 retro Jordan's in French Blue, a pair of shoes Mr. Laura had always wanted but couldn't justify spending $300 for. It is very touching to see how this group of kids showed kindness to their teacher.

Today's word is a quote from Alison Malee, which says, "Ah kindness. What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love in this world."

How simple it is to be kind to someone just because it is the right thing to do. I have had so many acts of kindness bestowed upon me at the most opportune times, when I needed it most. I appreciate all those that felt GOD leading them and, then, followed through by showing His love through their actions.

As we go about our day today, let's be kind. Our kindness to another may be the one good gesture they receive all day. Our kindness to someone may be the only thing positive to happen to someone. Our kindness may bring healing and happiness that we will never fully comprehend. Let's take the time to be kind.

Be Blessed,
