Hebrews 3:13 … Cheering each other onward<br />

(08/18/20<strong>16</strong>)<br />

“Exhort one another every day,<br />

as long as it is called „<strong>to</strong>day‟”<br />

~ unknown (Hebrews 3:13)<br />

It is not enough <strong>to</strong> plan <strong>to</strong> care for another, or <strong>to</strong> wait <strong>to</strong> extend Kindness only<br />

on those days we judge <strong>to</strong> be special ("birthdays", “holidays”, etc) ... For the time<br />

<strong>to</strong> Care is always now, and the person <strong>to</strong> Care for is always right next <strong>to</strong> you.<br />

And how are we <strong>to</strong> Care for them -- how do we “exhort” them fully? By<br />

simply looking them in the eye, by choosing <strong>to</strong> see their True Self within, by<br />

smiling at them warmly, and then by asking if there is anything we can do <strong>to</strong> bring<br />

them more Peace. This is true exhortation; an unconditional affirmation of the<br />

other -- valid & whole just as he/she already is.<br />

Amen ... Let it be so.<br />
