Take the Lead

An act of kindness can touch a broken heart...
And in some ways encourage a healing process to start.

A single mom and a frail baby is a great opportunity for a kindness act...
And a loving neighbor recognized the situation and prepared for a loving attack.

In a spirit of love the neighbor got involved...
And with prayer and help the problem was solved.

The struggling mom and neighbor are friends now...
And because of this act of love the young mom is learning how.

Some time all we need is an encouraging word or two...
And an act of kindness is a great thing to do.

We can take the lead whenever we see a need...
And others will follow when they see us take that lead.

So look around there are opportunities galore...
There may even be one living next door.
