Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Working at a public college, I see all kinds of
people. Every day I cross paths with folks I don't know; young people just
starting their adult lives, weary parents taking classes and working, veterans
of the military and veterans of life. I receive many smiles, but I also see
sadness and a lot of stress. As I walk my path I'm reminded that everyone of
these people has a story.
I read a quote recently that went something like
this, If we could look into everyone's eyes, we'd see that each person is
wrestling with a challenge. Everyone has their own experience with life and may
be facing a battle this very day. I love Paul's reminder to the Colossians and
to me. As I get dressed every morning I want to put on compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness, and patience.
Sometimes I'm the one in the battle, but even so,
I still need to gather these weapons of beauty and make the day better for
those I meet. It's a challenge, but with the Holy Spirit's help, it can be
done. Will you help me spread kindness? Praise God for the loving and caring spirits who've ministered to
me.
