Take TimeTo Be Kind

TAKE TIME TO BE KIND

by HELEN STEINER RICE



KINDNESS IS A VIRTUE
GIVEN BY THE LORD.
IT PAYS DIVIDENDS IN HAPPINESS,
AND JOY IS ITS REWARD.
FOR IF YOU PRACTICE KINDNESS
IN ALL YOU SAY AND DO,
THE LORD WILL WRAP HIS KINDNESS ALL
AROUND YOUR HEART AND YOU.
AND WRAPPED WITHIN HIS KINDNESS YOU
ARE SHELTERED AND SECURE,
AND UNDER HIS DIRECTION
YOUR WAY IS SAFE AND SURE.





HOW PRECIOUS ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT ME, O GOD!
THEY ARE INNUMERABLE!
