Momentous Missionfield

Sharing a few recent moments of kindness today,either as a witness or recipient.On the day before Christmas I popped in at a neighbour,to find his children nursing a rooster back to health in their kitchenafter he missed the coop one frigid nightand suffered frost-bite!He was enjoying a breakfast of blueberries,(eaten as soon as they landed) and cheerios! A text from a friend... A gift from a friend... Eggs dropped off from's husband(keeping her egg-gifting tradition alive!) just to name a few as well as many thoughtful texts and cardsover the Christmas Season... Thank-you💓🙏 Kindness is not a rare opportunityto make a grand or glamorous gesture of generosity.Rather, kindness grants countless and daily invitationsto love our neighbours as ourselves! Whether literally or figuratively, let's give someone a boost today! 🙏💝 Not always in some foreign placeDo mission fields imploreNo! often mercy states its caseOutside our very door Therefore to whom it may concernRegarding love's replyWe ought to resolve not to turnA deaf ear or blind eye And though we cannot all help allWe all can help someoneFor no kindness is ever smallThe moment it is done ~Janet Martin A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.” We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.  If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him? Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
