Thursday in the Third Week of Lent

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices god is well pleased. – Hebrews 13:16

Small kindness, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually practiced in our social intercourse, give a greater charm to the character than the display of great talents and accomplishments. – M.A. Kelty

 

Whether we are weak or strong, rich or poor, powerful or powerless, we can all glean a glimpse of heaven when we use kind words, sympathizing attention, and a careful attention to the sensibilities of others. These small actions cost very little, but are priceless in value. Are they not the staple of daily happiness – on the giving and receiving end? From hour to hour, from moment to moment, are we not blest in the receiving and the giving  of small kindnesses.?
