BE KIND TO YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS Before you go out to the streets and look for a leper and a beggar, I urge you to look within your family first. WHY? Sometimes, its easier to be kind to strangers than to family members, correct me if am wrong. There are beggars and lepers in your family. They dont look like beggars and lepers, but deep within, theyre hungry for the kindness of G♡D. £et me tell you a story. One day, the wife of a pastor came up to her husband and asked, Can I ask you for counselling for a personal problem? Annoyed, the pastor said in a gruff tone, What are you talking about? Of course! Youre my wife. Whats your problem? She shook her head. No Dear, I dont want you to talk to me as your wife. I want to you to talk to me as your counselee... The pastor began to calm down. Why? he asked. She said, Because I noticed that you dont shout at your counselees. But you shout at me often. You dont hurry them up when they pour their hearts out to you. You listen to them with full attention, nodding your head, smiling, holding their hands. But when I talk to you, youre always impatient. Your mind is somewhere else. That is why I ask you, please dont treat me as your wife. I want you to treat me as a counselee. Youre much kinder man to your counselees than to your wife. That night, her husband was pierced in his heart. With tears in his eyes, he asked for her f♡rgiveness. But this isnt an isolated case. Everyone has a tendency to be kinder to friends than to their own family. Because its so easy to take them for granted. Friends, be kind to your family. And youll see how the kindness of G♡D will change their (¡ves. A Blessed Weekend To All My Friends!
