A grandmother, celebrating her golden wedding anniversary, once told the secret of her long and happy marriage.

'On my wedding day, I decided to make a list of ten of my husband's faults which, for the sake of our marriage, I would overlook,' she said.

"A guest asked the woman what some of the faults she had chosen to overlook were.

 The grandmother replied, 'To tell you the truth, my dear, I never did get around to listing them.

But whenever my husband did something that made me hopping mad, I would say to myself, Lucky for him that's one of the ten!'

Sometimes we Christians need to proclaim our faith by simple acts of kindness...to family...to friends...even to strangers...to thereby prove we have heard Christ's admontion to love and forgive and be a light unto a world that is too often crude and mean and thoughtless...so a challenge to the both of us and the all of us...be kind for the next 24 hours in a way that far exceeds your usual kindness...be exceptionally kind and gentle and true to the Master's Way.

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32)
