Love...is kind.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
Being kind does not need to be complicated, nor does it necessarily require heroics! Sometimes it just takes that tiny bit of extra effort--a smile, even if you do not feel like giving it, a friendly 'Hello,' even if it feels awkward for you to talk to complete strangers. Offer the person siting next to you, (on the bus or waiting in a doctor's office, or at a check-out line), a stick of your gum or a peppermint, (before you pop one into your own mouth). Let's all make an extra effort to be kind today!
God Bless You!
