Be Kind

I'm grateful:
  • To be able to close my eyes and have such a clear image of my brother and sister in law in my mind from the recent visit.
  • That they know me better than anyone else in the world and love me anyway.
In my way of thinking:
  • Anyone can act nice.  A serial killer can put on a smile and good manners.  
  • Kindness though, is an action.  Kindness is freely letting God use you so you can be your "better" self.
  • Your "better" self does not always feel comfy.  In fact it can feel ill fitting.
  • Sometimes being kind feels like you are allowing others to walk all over you.  But they are only stepping on your ego.
  • Being kind is always always worth it.  It takes practice but the results are huge.

I try to err on the side of letting someone walk all over me. If I'm taken advantage of...so be it.

Because being kind IS always worth it.

Being kind is always worth it....you are right. There is no risk in being kind. There is risk in being mean though.....what if you really really hurt someone? Give people the benefit of the doubt. Being kind lets me live with a clear conscience....maybe that means I am selfish! lol

I so agree, Pam. I prefer kindness to others and to myself.

I will remember the one about feeling like others are walking all over you... but only stepping on your ego. Thanks Pammie.

It is so worth it. I never forget those who have been kind to me and I would do anything for them.
