This weekend, I was under the weather. It was the kind of 'under the weather' that meant that I had little energy or strength and just needed to lay in bed and rest. It was during this time that I remembered how nice it is to benefit from the kindness of others. My wife brought me hot food and hydrating beverages. My son volunteered to go to the grocery store to get the items I needed to buffer the symptoms and get better. It is truly a blessing to have people who care for you. This reminds me of the saying 'if you can be nothing else, be kind.' When you see someone struggling, remember that the last thing that person needs is someone to dog-pile on more misery. Show compassion, and when you are able, put action behind your kindness and do what you can to reduce the pain and suffering of others.
