140:8.13 He made it clear that indiscriminate kindness may be blamed for many social evils. The following day Jesus definitely instructed Judas that no apostolic funds were to be given out as alms except upon his request or upon the joint petition of two of the apostles. In all these matters it was the practice of Jesus always to say, “Be as wise as serpents but as harmless as doves.” It seemed to be his purpose in all social situations to teach patience, tolerance, and forgiveness.
Kindness
A blanket white begins the day.
It’s colder too, no melt today.
Still, there things that need be done.
To brave the cold, our day’s begun!
Out the door with keys in hand.
Out to live upon this land.
Do those things one does to live.
Shop for groceries, shop to give!
Surprise, surprise, snow from the sky.
It’s falling as I go outside.
Beauty, but there’s also danger.
Roads get slick as the snow lingers.
But still, there’s things that I must do.
Find good things on the path to truth!
Living with an open mind
One can choose then to be kind.
Kindness can lead one to love.
Love helps kindness find and solve.
Solve the art of what’s called living.
Love returns what you are giving!
Kindness is a giving act.
To truly give, you must learn tact.
To give when someone doesn’t know
Helps you find new ways to grow!
With holidays here, how kind am I?
I lack tact! I can’t deny!
To learn new habits does take time.
Mistakes are made on my timeline!
Thank You Father, I will learn.
Change is something that is earned!
Everyday progress can be made
Plans for Kindness can be laid.
