KIND WORDS

If our life is spent using kind words we find our kind words help us gather friends and one day, when we need them most, those kind words pay dividends. This year we had a friend who lost her sister, another who lost her spouse, a friend who is battling cancer and yet another who lost his house. When something tragic happens to someone we love that will forever alter the way they live…. although we’d love to offer more… sometimes kind words are all we have to give. Following misfortune and heartache there is no blueprint to follow no prospectus…no master plan… So we offer them as many words of kindness… words of love words of compassion and encouragement as we can. We send our words on paper, on a wish…a dream…a prayer hoping our words will wrap around and hug them when we’re not standing there. Could it be those original words of kindness that led to friendship when we see our friends suffer…or fall…. and return those kind words to them… are the most beautiful words of all?
