Be blessed with kindness, Evotion.

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness  Jeremiah 3:3

“Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.”

 Dalai Lama (Head of the Dge-lugs-pa order of Tibetan Buddhists, 1989 Nobel Peace Prize)

Kindness is not a commodity.  It is a rare and exceptional gift.

Too often kindness comes to us in response to some deed.   Another person shows kindness to us because we have done some act on their behalf.

What about kindness that is rooted in common humanity?  That is the kindness I appreciate the most.  A friend or acquaintance shows kindness just because I am human.  A door is opened ahead of me.  Someone lets me pass in a four way stop.  I receive an encouraging word from a total stranger.  Now that is kindness that affects me differently than what I have earned.

Whether I have been angered, mean, sullen, distraught or unkind, an act of kindness can move me to higher ground.  Whether I have been joyful, encouraging, loyal, or thankful, an act of kindness can take me to higher ground.

Prayer:  May your day and week, Evotion, be full of kindness.  May an unknown stranger take notice of you and bless you with a kind word or action.  Evotion, understand through life that God is totally disposed toward you with kindness.
