I saw, “Put on Kindness” and thought, “Fake kindness? Who wants it?” Then I read the scripture and got a picture of putting on my coat. I might not feel kind or merciful or patient, but I need to put them on anyway. Will the Lord grow me into a kind person if I pause and put it on? My good friend, Gary Endermann, says, fake it till I make it.

I believe kindness can be learned. We just need to slow down and pay attention 🙂
Me, too.
We hear/say too many excuses.
Gotta take a little initiative if we hope to learn it.
I love to show kindness to others through appreciation. Often a word of appreciation shares alot of joy. I love this verse.
