A Word About Life and Things


           

 

Kindness

       There was a 5-year-old boy named Michael, whose mother was pregnant with a baby girl. The little boy would lay his hand on his mother’s stomach and sing to a child in her ‘you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray.’ He did this every day. When it came time to have the baby, at the hospital there was a problem with the birth and the woman had to have a ‘C’ section and the baby did not farewell. The baby was taken to the intensive care unit. The little boy kept asking ‘when can I see my sister.’ Several days went by and the Doctors said that the baby may not make it. The Mother thought that if the boy did not see his sister he may never see her alive. The Mother took the little boy into the intensive care unit to see his sister. The boy saw his sister with all of the tubes and monitors around her. The Nurse saw the boy and said for him to leave. The little boy started to sing ‘you are my sunshine, my only sunshine.’ The Nurse noticed that the baby’s rapid breathing began to slow down. She looked at the boy and said “keep singing.” As the boy kept singing they noticed the baby was breathing normally and the blue color of her skin started to become normal. The baby became calmer as the boy sang. That baby lived and never had another problem.

      Our words are very powerful. That little boy was singing kindness to his sister, even in the womb before she was born. She heard him singing to her every day of her life. Even after her birth, that boy sang kindness to her and she was healed by it. Our words are the most powerful thing that we can use to fight against our enemies. We can lift people up or put them down. When we are kind to those around us, we lift them up. Be kind to those around you.

2 Peter 1:5 Ά But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,
 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,
