A simple word

In the madness of life we can make a difference. I see many people and see many hurting faces. Yet a simple word of kindness can change a hurting soul it can capture a person, it can hold them in the arms of grace stopping anything around them and consuming them for that moment with hope. My brother may not be here now, but for moments and glimpses of his entire life I do believe he was captured by kind words. Friday is my sister in laws Birthday. My daughter got to tell her about Christ, in those moments she captured her Aunts attention so much so that her Aunt wrote her a letter. Little did we know how much that letter was going to capture our hearts. It is not in always knowing what to say or having the last word that counts, it is a simple word of love, of compassion, a hug and a kind word, a smile, a feeling that other persons pain. The day my brother died I had a friends daughter here, her mom came to pick her up and I cried and groaned into that woman's arms, she will never know how much her compassion will stay with me always.
You truly never know how much your words can reach someone.
I have made many a mistake but I do try to love with compassion as I walk on this road.
Happy Birthday Rita.
Words can make a heart not grow cold but filled with hope.
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
