Kindness

Today, KINDNESS was exhibited everywhere I looked.

Early this morning, Woody, Tommy B, Butch and Eddie showed up to help us move Mary. There is no doubt, all of these precious men had many other things they needed to be doing, but instead, they came to help us.

After getting everything loaded and brought back here to our home, Woody & Tommy went to get Mary one of her favorites....a chocolate shake from BK! When they brought it back, they stayed and chatted with us awhile as we sat on our back patio. It was a sweet time in the Lord together. Mary calls Woody, "Milkshake" OR, one of his newer nicknames is "Short Visit" because she says his visits have gotten too short lately! She called Tommy "T-shirt" cause he always wears t-shirts! Darrel's nickname is "Teddy Bear" cause he's nice and sweet looking like a teddy bear and mine is "Ladybug" cause she says good luck has been brought into her life since I came into it. I've tried to tell her that her "good luck" has nothing to do with me, but EVERYTHING to do with Jesus!

Then shortly after they left and we ate some lunch, Nancy dropped by to pray for Mary and for us. It was such a precious act of KINDNESS and I know how much it blessed Mary's heart, as well as mine. What she did only took a few moments and yet it made Mary's day.

The old saying, "A little bit of KINDNESS goes a long way" is still true today. Not to mention it's one of the Fruits of the Spirit that we should live by daily.

Thank you God for those who freely exhibited the simple act of KINDNESS today. Once again, You have used your children to display Your love to us. My heart is full.
