Wise

Linking with Charlotte at Spiritual Sunday and Laura at Faith Filled Friday

"I hope you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously....and that you’ll be loved and liked, and that you’ll have people to love and like in return. And, most importantly that you'll be wise, and always kind." Neil Gaiman 

Being wise and strong and kind.....it's hard sometimes.... especially when things are falling apart and life just feels too lonely.....too tough.....too heavy. 

A friend of mine just learned her oldest has cancer. And another friend just mustered courage to walk away from an abusive relationship.. Other people I know are dealing with job loss,  family breakups, kids out of control, health stuff......You couldn't tell by looking at them that they're living with some awful stuff right now. 

It makes me think.....be kind. Be kind to everyone. I have no idea what the grocery clerk is dealing with....or that angry driver who cut me off on the road.....or my kid's teacher who seems uncaring to her students.....

Be kind b/c people usually don't look any different on the outside when they're fighting awful battles on the inside. 

Be wise enough to just be kind.


The power to be wise...and the wisdom to be strong....
