Gracious Kindness
It’s difficult to find the words to describe it…When I do put words to the overwhelming feeling, they feel exceedingly inadequte. Today, all I can come up with is to call it “gracious kindness.”
Sometimes you are faced with situations that seem so bleak and desperate that you feel you will be crushed by them…that you will fall underneath the weight of the circumstances. Just when you are at your wits end and you feel like all hope is lost, someone comes along and offers you a dose of “gracious kindness.”
Today, a perfect stranger, extended a bit of “gracious kindness” to my family. For reasons unknown to me, the man basically bailed us out of a sticky situation and helped us accomplish an overwhelming task. All I know is that God has to be in control of this situation.
I hope that one day I also will be able to extend a great deal of “gracious kindness” to those around me.
How have you experienced “gracious kindness” in your life?
Great stuff!
It’s in these moments that we are affirmed in such a tangible sense that God is, who He has told us He is.
Blessing man!
