Let's Be Kind

I tell our kids each day before getting out of our vehicle to go into the school to be kind. It doesn't cost us anything to be kind, and the rewards of that are priceless. Being kind to others may not always be my first response but it should be. The Bible tells us to treat others as we would like to be treated, and I like when people are kind. 

You've heard me say before that we should be nicer to people than we have to be because we never know what they may be going through. The person that is giving us a hard time might just be someone that has received devastating news and they are still just trying to process it. A kind word could be the salve they need to get through the next few minutes.

Today's word is Proverbs 26:24, NLT, which reads, "Kind words are like honey - sweet to the soul and healthy for the body."

Again, while it hasn't always been my immediate norm, being ready with a kind word is something that I am going to try to work on. I know I could use a little kindness from time to time and I am sure that others could as well. Today's word tells us that kind words are like honey; let's spread some.

And, today's word tells us that kind words are sweet to the soul, the person's receiving them and the person giving them. I told you the dividends are remarkable. Plus, kind words are healthy for the body. Saying and receiving kind words could be just what a downtrodden person needs. Let's be kind!

Be Blessed,
