Kindness is the sprinkles of life, don’t you think? You need a lot of little bits of kindness, and when you have it you can’t help smiling. Everything is prettier, more fun– just more when kindness is sprinkled liberally.
And God is so very kind to us. Do we see it? Maybe that’s where we should start– with counting God’s kindness to us. We would never be able to stop.
Sometimes, the same word in the bible is translated “love” that is other times “kindness.” So maybe I’m wrong. Maybe kindness is the active, daily, moment by moment acting out of love in the world we each inhabit.

Father in Heaven, your love is so kind, so faithful. I pray that all the kids I love, including the ones I live with would recognize your kindness for what it is– the thousand expressions of love you show us every day. May we all let love/kindness and faithfulness never leave us, binding them close, writing them deep in our hearts. May our lives be channels of your kindness into the world around us, so that we will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. #prayersformychildren
