You see that this is a little girl helping an old man across the street (or somewhere else).  I’m getting pretty old and crotchety but  don’t need help crossing the street yet.  But it won’t be long.  This little girl is showing love by being kind.  Love is …….

KIND!!!

Have you ever been kind to anyone?  Has anyone ever been kind to you.  Surely I have been kind to someone sometime but I’m having trouble thinking of a time.  I’m convicted but I finally thought of something. I have helped a number of people “move” over the years.  I’ve helped uncles in their farming operation.  I helped my mother clean out her house when she broke up housekeeping (and believe me that was a kindness). I do remember a time when someone was kind to me.  It was when I ran out of gas on the exit ramp of the interstate.  It was pouring rain.  I could see a gas station about a mile away.  I started to get out of the car to walk to the gas station when someone pulled alongside and asked if I needed help.  He happened to have a 2 gallon can of gas in his truck and gladly poured it into my car.  I tried to give him $20 for his trouble but He would not accept it.  He was showing love by being kind.
