A Cup of Kindness ~



Offer a cup of kindness,
 to someone hurting today
 offer them a sip of grace
 tell them things will be okay.

Offer a cup of compassion,
 to someone who needs a lift
 offer them a sip of love
 share with them your gift.

Offer a cup of gentleness,
 to someone who is down
 offer them a sip of mercy
 it will take away their frown.

Offer a cup of helpfulness,
 to someone who lives alone
 offer them a sip of hope
 show them your eternal home

Offer a cup of forgiveness,
 to those who have hurt you
 offer them a sip of peace
 you’ll please God if you do.

Offer a cup of kindness,
 to someone you meet today
 offer them a sip of joy
 it’s yours to give away!

~~~~~~

Galatians 5:22-23
  King James Version 

“But the fruit of the Spirit is
 love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
 gentleness, goodness, faith,
  meekness, temperance:
 against such there is no law.”

The Joy of Knowing Jesus ~

There's nothing quite like,
the joy of knowing Jesus
how in every circumstance
He is always with us.

No matter the situation,
Jesus is always there
our happiness is in knowing
our burdens He will bear.

In times of want and need,
whatever be our condition
our gladness is in knowing
He'll supply each provision.

When feeling overwhelmed,
by so many troubling things
our peace comes from knowing
the joy ~ Jesus brings!
