Kindness Poem
Yvonne Ugarte
Kindness breaks down barriers
With words, a smile, a touch
It links us all together
In a way that says so much
It shows concern for neighbours
For communities and friends
To be there for each other
Is the message kindness sends
Reaching out in friendship
Taking time to show you care
Being the anchor in their storm
When they’re drowning in despair
Kindness is essential
It’s resilient and tough
A global glue to bind us all
With gentleness and love.
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
~ Mark Twain
Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
~ Desmond Tutu

Colossians 3:12-15
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do, but above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Christian Attitude
I am grateful for who God is in my life and for what He’s done. I will not take for granted the people, the opportunities, and the favor He has blessed me with. I will look at what is right and not what is wrong. I will thank Him for what I have and not complain about what I don’t have. I will see each day as a gift from God. My heart will overflow with praise and gratitude for all of His goodness.

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus
~ Philippians 2:3-5
The churches of Christ greet you.
Romans 16:16
Be Kind to One Another
Dalton Key
Whoever said, “Pick your friends, but not to pieces,” knew what he was talking about.
Any healthy relationship will thrive in an atmosphere of understanding and mutual forbearance; but continual carping criticism does nothing but destroy. Pettiness and selfishness too often drive deadly spikes into the very heart of otherwise healthy friendships.
The Bible instructs, “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:31, 32).
And again God’s word admonishes, “Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers; be tenderhearted, be courteous, not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing” (1 Peter 3:8, 9)
And still again, “With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:2).
In short, we are expected to get along with one another; to be kind and forgiving toward one another; to have genuine compassion for one another; to bear with one another “in love.”
And what is this but the “golden rule” in practice, doing for and loving others as we would have them do for us (Matthew 7:12)? We would have others show kindness to us. We would have them minimize our weaknesses and emphasize and encourage our strengths. Should we not, then, treat others as we would have them treat us?
Too many people are lonely because they have spent a lifetime building walls instead of bridges. And is it any wonder? Nobody enjoys petting a porcupine!
