Bible Verse of The Day – 3-18-25

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (NKJV) 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil…

Being kind is something we all must practice every day, even when we are focused on getting something done. Taking a few minutes to stop and show kindness is good for us.

Just the other day, we were out for a bike ride. As we zoomed past an elderly woman, we happened to notice that the trunk of her car was open, so we yelled to ask her, “do you need any help?”

As we passed by, we heard her say something but couldn’t make out what it was, so we quickly went back to see what it was.

To our surprise, she said, “yes!”

We parked our bikes and went to meet her. Unbeknownst to us, we learned she had just had hand surgery.  And was in much need of help carrying her groceries.

You just never know how God wants to use you to hug on someone.

We helped carry in her groceries and spent a few minutes chatting with her. We left her our phone number to call if she needed any other help in the future.

Kindness has many ways of showing itself. We just need to be ready to let it loose when God opens that door.

Back on our bikes we went, with our hearts feeling grateful and happy we could exercise some love and kindness.

Praise be to God!
