Pondering Thoughts of My Soul

One of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit is kindness.  No matter our circumstances, we can all practice kindness.  Our world is desperate for kindness.  All people have problems, illnesses, fears, and anxieties.  Some are grieving the loss of a loved one or a pet.  But, no matter how we are feeling inside, we can still smile at others we meet.  That is a kindness everyone can practice.  You never know what a smile might do for another person, how it might lift their spirits.  If you encounter a grump, smile anyway.  Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  Thank you for reminding us that we can all be kind, no matter our circumstances.  Please, Lord, help us to be mindful of others and their feelings and situations.  Help us to be kind to each person or animal we meet.  In Jesus’ name, we pray.  Amen.  Ephesians 4:32. “And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another readily, as God in Christ forgave you.”
