Spiritual Thoughts

Kindness is difficult to give away    because it keeps coming back. Unknown Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness     will find life, righteousness, and honor. Proverbs 21:21

   "Kindness is in our power,           even when fondness is not." Unknown He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but   to do justice,         and to love kindness,                      and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8

        "Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding,           Mistrust, and hostility to evaporate." Albert Schweitzer Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;    bind them around your neck;        write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success     in the sight of God and man. Proverbs 3:3-4

Gratitude makes sense of our past,     brings peace for today, and          creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17

God doesn't call the qualified,  He qualifies the called. Unknown Give thanks to the Father,    who has qualified you to share in          the inheritance of the saints in light. Colossians 1:12
