121:7.2 The teachings and practices of Jesus regarding tolerance and kindness ran counter to the long-standing attitude of the Jews toward other peoples whom they considered heathen. For generations the Jews had nourished an attitude toward the outside world which made it impossible for them to accept the Master’s teachings about the spiritual brotherhood of man. They were unwilling to share Yahweh on equal terms with the gentiles and were likewise unwilling to accept as the Son of God one who taught such new and strange doctrines.
Be Kind
The sun is out, we’ll hit 50.
The day before us is nifty.
There’s always much that can be done
Before the setting of the sun.
What to do on this fine day?
Too muddy for groundwork today.
But temps are nice, we can enjoy
Fresh air, with windows we employ.
Open up the house today.
Screens keep bugs and flies away.
we get the air, and it feels fresh.
We know this day we’ll find success.
We’re going to plan and then complete
A way to make this day replete.
Balance my activities.
Make life of joy for all to see.
Try to be of help when out.
Take your time and stay about
The Father’s Business on your route.
What e’er comes up, just sing don’t pout.
Stay upon a route that’s kind.
Don’t worry about falling behind.
Do the best in front of you!
And things work out when this you do.
Thank You, Father, for the day.
I’ll do my best to go Your way.
On my route while I’m at play,
Kindness will be on display!
