Thought for the Day 3/3/2023

 Friday Tale ~ Be Nice! 

         I walked into the office this morning a bit late. Sorry. But there was a good reason. Well actually, one reason wasn't so great; a large amount of traffic at the entrance to Jerusalem. 

         The really good reason for my delay into the office this morning was that at a street corner near The Jerusalem Post building, a class of third-graders was gathered, wishing passersby: “Good morning; everything is for the good.”

          The teacher explained to me that this is something she has done over the years in the winter, and in particular when wintry weather is in the forecast. 

Today was sunny and not so chilly and it was a perfect chance for “troubled people walking by to be encouraged by these beautiful children who don’t yet have the worries of adulthood,” said the teacher. 

         With the teacher’s permission, I approached one of the children and asked: “If I could send a message from you to the whole world, what would it be?” 

         The child smiled, at first was shy, but then said to me: “Tell everyone in the world to be nice to one another.” 

         OK, ya hear that world?! That’s the message to all of you: “Be nice!”

~ David Jablinowitz

 Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. ~ Ephesians 4:32
