Love is Kind

Brainstorming kindness.  

Kindness given, kindness received.  

Kindness that sticks and stains us through people  

Like my grandmother — quiet, moving, caring working  

Or my tenth grade chemistry teacher — positive, complimentary  

Or my husband—forgiving, loving, providing.  

Highlighting something beautiful. A surprise.  

Noticing someone; looking at them;  

Choosing to spend time and talk, listen, encourage or follow up with them.  

Recognizing what others have done and being grateful.  

Conceding a point, offering to help, saying something positive.  

The multitude of things that feel kind and feel like love.  

God’s kindness in his provision.  

Endless ways, endless opportunities to love.
