Love is kind v 4 ,the world needs a lot of things,it diffently needs more kindness,Max Hastings book on the second world war,tells us of the awful things that took place,the unrestrained brutality by conquering armies,but it also tells us of the handships soldiers had to cope with,which Hollywood leaves out. We know it involved defeating an enemy,but it cost.Many soldiers were scared stiff,and it manifested itself in different ways,some had breakdowns,as the allies pushed towards Germany as the winter set in, so it was tough going.Max tells about one soldier who was struggling in the wet and the cold,and a little French girl came out and handed him two pillows. I'm sure that soldier would never forget that simple act of kindness by that child.I look back on my life especially when I was at Bible college and had no money,and I received many kindnesses from people.I hightlight one man who every Sunday gave me two pounds, they called him Jackie,and I will be always grateful for what he did. Glen Camlbell wrote a song called,'Show a little kindness',here are some of the words from it.
'If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seed he has sown.
And if you see your sister fallen by the way,
Just stop and say,''Your going the wrong way''
Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt,
And the kindness you have shown everyday,
Will help someone along the way'
