Be Kind To All You Meet On Life;s Hi-Way

Parting With Collections

When you grow older you realize that the things you used to collect are only things and they will not bring you happiness. I have found it a great joy to sell things that I used to collect and give the money to charities that will help people in need. Items have a hold on you and when you get rid of them you have a sense of freedom. Sometimes a person gets so wrapped up in collecting things that you miss out on what is truly important in life. Do not let your possessions own you or tell your story. Collections will not bring back a loved one or help you get back a particular moment in time. An older woman told me she never felt so free until the day she had to get rid of her possessions because she moved into an old-age apartment complex. I understood what she meant and I got rid of a lot of my things after I talked to her. I have sold all of my antiques and I do not miss a single one of them. Your story should be about how you helped others on earth and how you asked God to help you spread his good works to the masses.

Wisdom, Love, Kindness And More

With age comes wisdom. As we grow old we are wise to the ways of the world. We do not take people at face value. We observe how people act, talk, and relate to others before we trust them. We know if someone truly loves us or if they are just sweet talking us. We want to be around kind and caring people and those that are compassionate to our needs as we age as graciously as we can. True love is wanting the best for the person that we love. We return to love when we receive love. We will protect a person that we truly love at all costs. A Mother will sacrifice herself to save her child. In the army, the saying says no man is left behind. You protect your buddies in the army and you will lay down your life for them. Kindness should come naturally to a person but unfortunately, it does not come from all of us. If you treat people unkindly it will come back to haunt you someday as you may not be able to live with yourself depending on what you did. Compassion is sometimes very hard to find. Some people may think you are faking an illness just because they cannot see your disease just by looking at you. A person can be dying from some horrible disease and a rude person will say get out of your way or why don’t you move faster? If we could move faster we would naturally. Someday they will be the one that is old and frail and maybe no one will have compassion for them. Show love, kindness, compassion, and consideration for people every day and walk with God by your side and let him lead you to do the best that you can to help others so they will know God loves them.

Kindness Matters Always

If someone is unkind, it ruins your day and makes you uncomfortable. It is much easier to be kind and considerate of others people’s feelings, and they will thank you. Always put yourself in the others person’s position. Compliment people on a well-done job, and always remember to thank them when they help you. Do not cut in front of others in a line of people, as your turn will come later. Unkind people only think of themselves and not the other guy. Make it your daily goal to put a smile on someone’s face and light up their day.

Be Kind While You Drive

If you do not know who has the ride away, give it to the other person sitting at the stop sign. Road rage is unacceptable, and you could cause someone’s death by driving like a maniac just because you had to wait longer than you thought you should have to wait for road construction. If you were working on the road, would you want cars flying past you? I am sure you answered no to the question at hand. Thank road workers for making the roads safer for us. If someone passes you and has to slow down immediately, do not fly around them and apply your breaks as you could cause them or your death. Always drive with a cool head, and never go like you on the Indy 500. Be a kind and considerate driver whenever you get behind your car’s wheel.

Be Kind And Help Others When They Need A Hand

All of us will need a helping hand in life eventually. If someone needs a ride to the Doctor, give them a ride. If they have something that needs fixing, you know how to fix it for them. Be kind to others even if they are not kind to you. Keep spreading love even if you do not get it back. I was stuck in the ditch once by my house after a snowstorm, and three of my neighbors noticed, and all of them offered to help me; I thanked them and told them I had called for a tow truck. If you see someone who can hardly carry their groceries, carry them to their car. Always thank the people that park your car, serve your food and offer a service to you and make sure you leave them a tip. People remember when they are treated kindly, and they are genuinely grateful.

God Is Always Kind

God gave his only begotten son as he died on the cross for our sins so that we may be forgiven for our sins and have everlasting life. God gives us land to grow food on and animals to eat and provides us with what we need to survive on planet earth. God is our refuge and strength and always helps us when we are in trouble. God has given his spirits presence with us and hope of eternity spent with him. God is a good and kind God.
