Former Pastor L. P. Jones frequently chose this thought-provoking saying for the benediction:
“Life is short and there is precious little time to gladden the hearts of those who travel with us, so make haste to be kind, and may every act of love and kindness be a reflection of God’s love in you.”
Simple, eloquent, wonderfully wise and meaningful. The writer must have had in mind the countless ways there are to reach out, be it a warm smile or a kind word, a helping hand or a listening ear, a thoughtfully written note or a concerned phone call, a word of praise or understanding patience, a hug or a comforting shoulder to cry on. How often it is the little things that count, and each will be a reflection of God’s love in us.
Prayer: Loving Father, help me to be more sensitive to the needs of those who travel with me on my life journey. Amen.
