The Joy of Caring
The Gift

The gift of encouragement
Should be given each day-
Pass it out freely
And in gentle ways.
There's no need for ribbons
To make it look grand-
Just the simple encouragement
Of a kind, helping hand.

Joan Stephen

Let me be a Light

Let me be a light, O God,
That shines for all to see;
If someone needs to find the way,
An example may I be
Of love and kindness and brotherhood,
Of all that's gentle, of all that's good.

Give Me a Kind Heart

Give me a kind heart that will endure,
One that's strong and secure.
To help someone along the way,
May this be my goal every day.
Let me lend a helping hand
To someone whose life has not gone as planned,
Reaching out to one in need,
May this be my daily good deed,
To provide a guiding light
For someone lost in the dark of night.
Let me take time to care
For someone experiencing despair.

Whatever I do, everywhere I go,
Your will, Dear Lord, let me know.

Kindness

It is the history of our kindnesses
that alone makes this world tolerable.
If it were not for that, for the effect of
kind words, kind looks, kind letters...
I should be inclined to think our life
a practical jest in the worst possible spirit.
by
Robert Louis Stephenson
