I read something last week that I liked: "more people are won by Christian kindness, then by lofty words and clever speech."
When we push too hard, and talk too much, we drive away the people that we are trying to win.
When we start with kindness, with love of God and neighbor, we set the stage. People are drawn to caring practices. Caring and kindness are launching pads for the measured words that come later at the right time.
Who does God give you to care about today?
It is a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
