Kindness



"Do a deed of kindness;

Though its end you may not see,

It will reach like widening ripples

Down a long eternity."

"Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life."

"The people whose lives we touch need to experience God's love through our compassion and generosity. That's why we should ask God to make us aware of opportunities to show kindness."

Some pretty powerful words. The above photo of Diane and Melvinia is a shining example of the smiles that come from acts of kindness. Lives and hearts forever bound together in love. Just one of thousands of examples that have occurred along this Gulf Coast since August 29, 2005.

In just a couple of weeks our journey will take us west, into the heart of the 9th ward of New Orleans. There are countless lives and hearts that need a touch from God there. We ask God to open the doors for us, show us the people, enable us to do Your will, guide us and protect us. We thank Him for the opportunity to work for Him.

Until tomorrow . . . Susan and Monty
