       We all meet people in passing on a daily basis. Sometimes things seem okay for people, and occasionally it is obvious that something is wrong. But even for the many who appear to be okay, we don’t really know for sure. People can actually be going through quite a lot, and yet, unless they tell us, we have no idea. Life carries along for everyone, and as we know from our own lives, there are better times and there are times that aren’t as good. If we know that is true for us, it probably is true for others. That being the case, perhaps we should keep this understanding in our awareness if don’t already. So, understanding that the person we strike up a casual conversation in the coffee shop may indeed be going through a really difficult time, I think it’s good practice to treat everyone kindly. Why, the Apostle Paul mentioned kindness as one of the Fruits of the Spirit. Remember? He also said we should be gentle. It could be that our kindness and gentleness actually is what brightens someone’s day and encourages them to keep moving forward.
