Every day we meet people who are going through difficult times. Many are experiencing the results of a down economy and are having trouble making ends meet or maybe they are even out of work. Others are going through hardships in their homes as relationships have broken down and they do not know how to put the pieces back together. These kinds of things can cause anxiety that weighs people down. You can see it on their faces as the worries of this world have taken their toll.
One thing each of us can do in times like these is to be ready with a kind, encouraging word. A kind word can be like a Red Bull ( I don't recommend drinking those, by the way) to the soul. It doesn't cost us anything to give a kind word, at home, at church, at work, in the check-out line at the grocery store, or wherever we might find ourselves.
Let's make a commitment to share God's kindness and His encouragement with the people we bump into every day. Ask God to open your eyes to the people around you and to put His words of kindness on your lips. You never know... your words of kindness might just be the difference in whether someone gives up or keeps moving!
