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. by 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. by Theresa Mary Grass - 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. by Eve Kiley - 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 HOME |
