Good morning.聽The Old Testament prophet Micah addressed the question of what the Lord requires of human beings.聽 He wrote, 鈥溾�� to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.鈥澛犅燭oday, the 13th November, is World Kindness Day.聽 Its celebration encourages people to overlook all boundaries that frequently divide us from one another.聽 The challenge is to make the world a better place by doing good deeds.World Kindness Day started from a Tokyo conference in 1997 and it has since grown to a global movement with nearly thirty nations as active participants.聽 It has caught the imagination of both individuals and institutions, of schools and community groups.The United Kingdom has participated in Kindness Day since 2010.聽 聽Now an increasing number of people all over the country take part in doing random acts of kindness.聽 For a deed to be kind there is no expectation of any reward or benefit to the giver.聽 Behind the day is the thought聽 that , 鈥淜indness has the power to unify a world troubled by political, cultural and economic difference鈥�.聽 聽In both the example, and teaching, of Jesus, the call to be kind to one another rings out clearly.聽 As he dealt with those whom society made 鈥渙utcasts鈥� we see lives changed and people made whole.聽 聽He spoke of caring for those who are hungry, strangers, prisoners, sick 鈥β� how we care for people in need reflects our attitude to Jesus himself.聽聽Kindness is a characteristic not confined to Christian teaching.聽聽The Dalai Lama said, 鈥淏e kind whenever possible. It is always possible.鈥漁r as Mark Twain put it, 鈥淜indness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.鈥滾ord, help us today to do some acts of kindness that will help to make the world a better place.聽 Amen.
