Hello ,
In the middle of President Lincoln's Presidency, an elderly lady made an appointment to see him. As she entered his office, he inquired, "How can I be of service to you, Madam?"
The lady answered, "Mr. President, I know you are a very busy man, and I have not come to ask you for anything. I simply came to bring you this box of cookies."
There was a long silence. Tears flowed from
Lincoln's eyes as he began:
"Madam, I am greatly moved by what you have done. For since I have become President, people have come into this office one after another asking for favors and demanding things from me. You are the first person who has ever entered these premises asking no favor but bringing a gift. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering..." Colossians 3:12
A kindness shown to someone else is always appropriate, even if it goes unnoticed. Sometimes we may discover that it was a little kindness that
was life-altering for someone that we were able to show it to.
How will you allow God to be kind to someone through you today?
Have a great day
and God bless!
