The Kind Samaratin

the old story that we all know and have heard and learned to know by heart, and if not, i will refresh your memory right now,
there once was this guy or something and then he got robbed, all his money, all his clothes and was left for dead and then a priest walks past him and just ignores him, then some other guys does the same thing, but then some kind guy comes up to him and helps him, pays for him to stay at an inn, and yeah he becase the KIND SAMARATIN :D
     The modern version, have you ever seen someone that has fallen down on the street? sometimes you ask yourself, oh my god.. should i help them or not? well of course you should! kindness is shown by your actions to people whenever they need you the most and dont even ask for it. sometimes whenever you are at the store and someone is having trouble opening the door or getting their cart out or something you are supposed to ask if they need help even if they dont necessarily need you help or even send you away. i know on several accounts whenever i was with my mom and walmart and well we have so many people in our family we know we are going to have this huge buggy full of junk and well there was this one time we got in line and there was this father and this kid who had only 3 toys but was stuck behind us. so i tried to be nice and say hey you can get in front of us so that you dont have to wait for all of this but yeah they rejected the idea but that was alright because i felt good inside that i tried to be nice and help them speed up their time. even doing the smallest thing for someone who  needs it goes a long way.
     meaning of the story and well i said this a few times but, showing kindess to others is a nice way to show your faith, even without saying it, actions speak louder then words, and yes people notice sometimes if you are a christian if you act the way you should and how god wants us to. learn something today! do the right thing!!

  1. Being kind is an awesome way to show your faith and make people think about your motives. But I can't just leave it at that. I got to challenge you too. How can you be kind out of your comfort zone? How do you match the anger you rightly feel in the Molestation blog with the kindness you see here? How do you put these various parts of your life together to create an impact for Christ?
    REALLY think about this and get back to me with an answer. Either another blog or email or something. Apply this to your life in a way that challenges you and grows you closer to God. Big points for making an impact for Christ.
