SMALL COURTESIES

Heartening stories

In recent months, with epic discontent in airways, i’ve thought about how important SMALL COURTESIES are in most peoples’ daily lives. Whether locally, or during travel, i’m impressed with how courteous most people are to one another.

i sense lots of silent personal stress around, but this doesn’t keep people from treating each other kindly.
i’m seeing increasing evidence of poverty in my area.

The harder things are, the more important human dignity becomes.
(i learned from my elders who experienced world wars and The Great Depression.) The will to be a civilized human being regardless of trying circumstances.

Kindness results naturally from supernatural joy .. strangely, in all circumstances ..

Supernatural joy ..

Kindness and compassion are SO central to who Jesus was. And to what love is.
