I wonder sometimes if we are so busy being such proper Christians that we forget to stop and love people where it really counts. By caring about what matters to them. Like what they did today, about how their kids are doing, about their unreliable car.
I know it’s easy for me to get caught up in planning some REALLY cool BIG things to do for people, like weekend lectureships, and service projects, and actually inviting people to church or a Bible study. But when it comes down to it I think the main thing people want to know is that they are cared for, and not because they’ll ultimately be another body in a pew. I want to take the time to stop and help that lady carry her groceries, to hold open a door for someone, or to smile at the stern-faced cashier. To show that I love them.
For who they are.
And because that’s how Christ loved others. In the little things.

I couldn't agree more. It's in the "Random Acts of Kindness" that people can see Christ in us. It's the things that go overlooked by others that when done, stand out the most.
Thanks for that post Allio! I love you. <3
