Kindness

Last night at Bible study , the girls talked about the fruit of being Kind. 
Kindness is a word I don't think of very often, not in a bad way. I just
don't use the word Kind. Instead I use the words; nice, sweet, thoughtful,
and any other word related to Kind.

Last Night when Nancy was listing opposites of the word Kind, I didn't know how many of them i need to change. For example bitterness, frustration, and more. Frustration is my biggest opposite of Kindness that I'm working on right now in my life. One of the questions we discussed was what situations in our life that we can see us not being as Kind. I thought of when i work with pre-school kids. As much as i love them to death there are just times when you have had enough. Yesterday i had this kid who is young enough to not really know what is going on but old enough that No means No. I ended putting in time out for a little bit. And after words i felt bad but it needed to be done.

God wants us to Love one another as our self, and Love our neighbors!

Even though i was tough on the kid. He still wanted to be my friend. So I was being Kind with a different  approach.

This week I am going to work on being Kind and that's it !

Have You Been Kind lately ?
