A very little love for our neighbour wrought out in a bit of everyday kindness is worth a great deal of talk about love which finds no expression in act –
Letting God In in Finding the Way
Fill the day with love. Forget yourself and think of others. If there is a call for kindness, show the kindness now, today; it may be too late tomorrow. If a heart hungers for a word of appreciation, of commendation, of cheer, of encouragement, say the word today. The trouble with too many people is that they fill the day with neglects, with postponements, with omissions, with idle words and idle silence. We do not realize vividly enough that there are many things which if not done today need not be done at all. If we have slept the hours when duty waited, we may as well then sleep on. –
