Be kind to one another... says part of today's scripture reading. How do I practice that today? I drove my husband to his very first Colonoscopy appointment. I started reading this book called "The Good and Beautiful God by James Bryan Smith" during his procedure and prayed a few times. And then I brought him home. And then I fed him plain rice mixed with butter and sugar. Put him to take a good long nap while I cook what he requested, "chicken stew with dicon radish". See the picture below.
Will ate very well. After he took a shower, together we visited Elizabeth, a good friend and shared the stew with her. She is a later eater. In turn, she offered us her home made waffles which we ate with tea as she ate the stew we brought to her with noodles. It feels good that I could be kind to my husband and my friend, today.
Prayer: Great God, thank you for you love and kindness to me today and every day. Help me to be kind to others whom you put in my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Ephesians 4
4
25 So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbours, for we are members of one another. 26Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and do not make room for the devil. 28Thieves must give up stealing; rather let them labour and work honestly with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. 29Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up,* as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. 31Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, 32and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.*
Also Psalm 23 1 Samuel 15:10-21
