Kindness

Who can argue with being nice?
helping out those in need
talking to the person who seems alone
opening the door for someone
sending an e-card to a friend or relative to brighten their day

yet there are things that we do so easily that if we thought about, aren't so nice.
I'm sure we could all think of one. . .
one that catches my attention is from camp this summer
everyone knows a person who they may make comments about and camp was like that, there were not quite different groups but there were a few of us closer than others. There was also one or two people who got alittle more sarcasm than they deserved. When i reflected on my behavior i admit that my behavior did not always represent christian kindness.

Just something to point out because honestly, it was something i didn't think about until after it happened. Behavior normal to our generations is not necessarily kind and good which makes it difficult, however also a great way to minister without words!

Luke 7

The Faith of the Centurion

1When Jesus had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. 2There a centurion's servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, "This man deserves to have you do this, 5because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue." 6So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
9When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel." 10Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

the kindness of the centurion for his servant, and the kindness of Jesus everyday of his life! just alot of things to think about here.
God Bless you!
