The Wisdom Of Kindness

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. Proverbs 11:17

If we believe the words of Proverbs 11:17 - and we should - then we understand that kindness is its own reward. And, if we are to obey the commandments of our Savior - and we should - we must sow seeds of kindness wherever we go.
Kindness, compassion, and forgiveness are hallmarks of our Christian faith. So today, in honor of the One who first showed compassion for us, let's teach our families and friends the art of kindness through our words and through our deeds. Our loved ones are watching . . . and so is God.

"When you extend hospitality to others, you're not trying to impress people, you're trying to reflect God to them". - Max Lucado
