This day looks to be a busy one, but that just makes the day go faster. To start the day I need some prayer time and a cup of Door County Wisconsin Blend Harvest Coffee. Now it's time to write.
People spend a lot of money to improve or alter their appearance. Billions are spent on cosmetics and plastic surgery. All of this is done to be more attractive.
Have you ever wondered how some folks just seem to attract others like moths to a light on a dark night? Have you ever wondered why some people are sought out in a crowd and you need an appointment just to speak with them?
It's not because they wear fountain of youth cream. It's not their new shiny dental implants. It's not anything physical at all. If you want to be considered attractive, be kind. Kindness is an attractive quality.
These are the people who say hello to you first. They greet you with a smile. They extend a hand in friendship first. They are the ones that shovel your snow long after you are asleep. They are the ones who remember your birthday. They are always complimenting others and giving encouragement.
Proverbs 11:24-25English Standard Version (ESV)
24 One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25 Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered.
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25 Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered.
They share what they have without being asked. They live to bless others and are never tired. They seem to find another ounce of energy when they need to help. They offer to watch your kids so you can rest or get some time away. Kindness is attractive.
Food for thought!
