Love

1 Corinthians 13 tells us "Love is patient, love is kind,..it is not self-seeking."  Yet, love for all mankind is often hard to do.  The world is not patient.  It is not kind and most are self-seeking.  Love can be broken out many ways but today I am breaking it out as if attempting to show love toward a stranger, yet it can apply to all.  We do not know what the stranger may be facing.  Maintain patience, overlook rudeness, speak a kind word. 

L ook around and notice people and share a smile or a pleasant greeting.
O verlook a stranger's rudeness or crude remarks.
O pen up your heart. 
K eep an open mind.

My prayer today is: Lord, may all my words be kind, May I follow your example toward loving others.  Let me be patient and not self-seeking.
