On kind words...

Feeling: Hungry Time: 1:13p.m I don't know how to start this, it's about kindness, but somehow I don't know how to articulate my words, and it's weird. I could understand if I was about to talk, but I want to write, and I don't know how to explain myself. It could be because it's something so simple, yet so complicated. I don't know. It's sad that many of us have lost a grip on kindness. It's sad. We go on social media and type out whatever comes into our minds.  We like this freedom of speech thingy we have going on, so that we speak whatever we think without using filters. Speak, because, I'm really interested in talking about kind words and how far away they are from our lips. Even the instagram app has the filter feature to make a picture more appealing, to make the picture flawless. Since I can't really articulate my words properly, I may just write some points on how we can embrace kind words and end there. Maybe it's...

We had to move to the boys' room temporarily (Dang!)  I'd do extra and earlier cooking (noo) I would not have mom to myself anymore (maddening). I probably just don't like all the hustle and bustle that comes along with having a guest. Being kind doesn't necessarily mean giving people physical stuff, giving people your time could be a form of kindness. In this area, I could be  very selfish, especially when I do...

Hi friends , I hope you all had a splendid week?  I had a great week as well, thank God. Yeah, so, moving on to what I'll talk about today. It's going to be quite short LOL (Yeah, I'll spare you my long talks. Just for now though), and it might be long. Who knows? I'll be talking about one amazing fruit of the spirit, and that fruit of the spirit issss *drumroll* KINDNESS!!!  Before I start though there's one song I used to sing as a kid. Lemme just write out the lyrics (it's not long) Sing a song of Joy Sing a song of happiness Do a deed of kindness today Do a deed of kindness  Do a deed of Kindness everyday THE END (not the end of this post o) Many of us know that as Christians, we should be kind and all, because it shows the Holy Spirit is in us, but how many of us are actually kind? It should be who we are. Kindness isn't until you give someone one million dollars, naira or pounds. You don't have to have a lot until you're kind.  It th...
