There are three things that are important in life: be kind, be kind and be kind.
-Henry James
Also in your house
It's Monday morning, and when you get out of bed, you can already feel that this isn't going to be a good day. At the bathroom, you have to wait a quarter for your brother, who is singing loudly under the shower. Ugh. At breakfast you get irritated by your sister, who "apparently" can't eat normally. Ugh, ugh. The next moodkillers are the questions your parents ask you about last nights party, while you're really not in the mood to talk about that. Ugh, ughhh. Later, on your way to school, you meet a couple of friends, and you immediately show your happy side. Good morning! Oh yes, I'm doing great.
Do you recognize that? For some reason, it's always easier to be kind to the outside world than to the people who are the closest to you. The more you know people, the more you get disturbed by them. Being kind is a challenge. Especially when that counts for everybody: from the most popular girl of the school, to your own family.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Philippians 4:5
Lord, please help me to be realistic in my kindness. Not just to be kind when I want to, but also when I don't want to. And also to be kind to people who are very close to me and to whom I get disturbed.
