A ladybug beetle somersaulted and could not overturn itself. A ladybug discovered it struggling and drew near to assist but could not help it. It flew to the company of other beetles and signaled to them. They flew en masse to the scene. With joint efforts they rescued the beetle.
Kindness is the quality of being friendly, considerate and generous towards others. It involves showing empathy, compassion and willingness to help or support someone without expecting anything in return. Kindness is giving a helping hand to someone in distress. It is doing everything within one’s power to bring succor to someone in need. It is unbecoming of a child of God to see someone suffering and look away or turn the other side. Be the reason that someone smiles today.
A kind believer will always responds to a suffering individual in the best way he or she can irrespective of race, region or religion. Like Jesus our Lord and Master, we must make use of every opportunity to manifest this godly virtue. Show kindness to someone today and be kind always.
