Say Some Kind Words

Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness. 

Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.

They He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.  Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into this harvest.”

Matthew 9:35-38

When I read this, I think about all the people who are distressed and dispirited that I see everyday.   Many of these people I do not know, but I know this, taking a moment to be kind and say "hello" can make them smile.  

So often we are so busy chasing the details of our lives that we forget to do small kindnesses.  

Be like Jesus, stop and take a minute to encourage a stranger.
