Make Kindness An Everyday Thing!!!

Good morning everyone!
How was your day yesterday? Did you make wise choices? As those seeking to be more wise, we should be reflecting on our days to learn from our victories AND mistakes...

Today we are in verses 3 & 4 of our Proverb for the day, NLTse...let's get to work!!

Proverbs 3:
3 Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.
4 Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.

Simply put: "make kindness and loyalty a habit in your life." "Remind yourself to do it"!! We have talked about making the study of Proverbs a habit. We have also discussed creating reminders, or "proverbs checks" in your day. As I shared, my Outlook gives me a "pop up window" and an audible alert to remind me to review the Proverbs bold print verses I read that day.

Our bold print today is reminding us the importance of being kind!! When is the last time you said a kind word to someone? Sometimes we get so caught up in "catching people doing something wrong". We are so quick to point out someone's faults; as if we don't have any ourselves, right? LOL! When was the last time someone said something kind to you or paid you a compliment? How did you feel when they said it? Amazing right? Well verse 3 is asking us to make kindness a habit!! "Tie it around your neck as a reminder".

I mentioned to you that one of my distance mentors, Dr. John C Maxwell, has a 30-second rule: within 30 seconds of his encounter with anyone he looks for a way to say something to add value to them. He says a "kind word, encourages and or compliments them". He FINDS a way!! HOW ABOUT YOU FINDING A WAY to be kind? Not just today...but everyday...find a way to remind yourself until it becomes habit!!

Then take a look at verse 4 and see what it will do for your life & reputation...hehehehe!

Make wise choices today - remind yourself to be kind to someone...
