Love God and love His creation. Be kind to one another!

 It is Albert Einstein’s reminder, “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” 

Yes… so, here’s our paradigm shift: Who you are, makes a difference.
Today, I can choose to Be kind. To Be generous. To Be inclusive. To not demean or shame.
Because it does matter… Today, I can choose to say, you belong. To say, you are not left out, or on the outside. To say, you are not less than.
Today I can make choices for a world where inclusion and kindness and compassion and sanctuary are real. Realities planted and grown by gentle little choices.
Indeed. “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.”

Martin Luther King Jr.’s reminder does my heart good, “Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
What a reminder. Every choice to serve, is in fact, a heroic gesture, because that choice is born in a heart fueled by grace.

This week we’ll be telling stories about the freedom to choose to care. About hearts full of grace, that spill to the world around them. And, not one of these people woke up one morning, and said to themselves that they were about to do something heroic. It’s just that, when they had to, they did what was right: they chose to care.

“If you asked me who are my favorite people, I would tell you the ones who are filled with empathy, whose tenderness exists in them by nature, who wouldn't make a tiny effort to show kindness, because they glow with it.
The ones who know how everybody is struggling so they walk with grace in people hearts.
They are here to lend a hand, whisper a tender advice, fight a dark thought, draw a smile.
They are light weighted, they dive smoothly into souls with their gentleness, they would regret a word or a gesture they did accidentally if it has the tiniest possibility of hurting someone.
In their deepness, they wish everybody goodness and hope, they are eternal passengers who might not take a lot of attention, but they can never be forgotten.” (Thank you Yasmine Lasheen)
