Monday Memories: Sharing Some Kindness

From Galatians 5:22-25:  “By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  There is no law against such things.  And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.   If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.”

Seeing mankind standing along the road

Bearing heavy burdens, life’s overload

 

Stopping to say, travel the other way

Sharing some kindness, from our Lord today

 

Shining Jesus’ light, for all to follow

Hearing His Word, rich wisdom to swallow

 

Overlooking life’s narrow-minded walk

Sharing some kindness, truth becomes our rock

 

Lending helping hands, sisters and brothers

Showering daily grace, like none other

 

Forsaking life’s blindness, opening eyes

Sharing some kindness, never in disguise

 

Helping others who travel beside us

Inviting them, catching rides on God’s bus

 

Loving with patience, goodwill overflows

Sharing some kindness, warming hearts aglow

 

Recalling Christ’s call, handing out His love

Sharing His mercy, planted from above

 

Paying it forward, kindness shared each day

Harvesting endless treasures from God’s way

This poem is inspired by singer Glen Campbell’s classic tune, “Try a Little Kindness.”  Here is one of his renditions of this remarkable song.  Pay it forward, show the world some kindness.

There is but one kind of love; God is love, and all His creatures derive theirs from His.

From 1 John 4:19:  “We love because He first loved us.”

John James Audubon (1785-1851) was a French-American self-trained artist, naturalist, and ornithologist.

Following Truth’s Voice

From Jeremiah 29:13:  “When you search for Me, you will find Me; if you seek Me with all your heart.”

Journey of darkness

Chasing empty voice

Life without answers

Nothing to rejoice

 

Hearing God’s whisper

Revered voice speaks out

Lighting righteous path

Faith hungers to sprout

 

Now, wander no more

Embracing God’s voice

Past left in ashes

Trusting mercy’s choice

 

Walking in God’s light

Goodness from above

Accepting His grace

Faith’s heart beats with love

 

Life’s upright answers

Sharing each rejoice

Hope at last finds God

Following truth’s voice

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

From John 8:12:  “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.'”
