In our busy lives, there are times when we feel a little overwhelmed with the cares of life! How thankful I am that in these times we can stop for a few moments -- "Be still" and wait upon the Lord! Perhaps the Lord wants to remind us that there is someone needing a kind word from us today.
The Apostle Paul admonished us in the book of Ephesians to be kind one to another and walk in love!
I trust this little poem by an unknown author will challenge our hearts today!
"While praying for the sin-sick world that's on its way to hell,
Do not forget the stranger lone, who in your midst may dwell.
The stranger coming to your school may bear a heavy load,
And speaking kindly to that one will help to smooth the road.
The Christlike spirit always seeks to help the lonely one;
To graciously forgive all wrong, ere sets the glowing sun.
To give a smile, a cheery word, which do not cost a cent,
Has often raised a drooping heart whose strength was well-nigh spent.
A criticism bitter, harsh, comes not from God above;
Oh, let us then most careful be, to scatter only love."
--Amen,
