Your Question:

What is the best way to show kindness to those around us when we're feeling tired?

Answer:

When we're feeling tired, the best way to show kindness to those around us is by pretending to be friendly. As the scripture says, "bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." (Proverbs 4:23) This means that we need to make an effort to be kind, even when we don't feel like it. By putting on a friendly manner, we can trick ourselves into feeling friendlier. It's like the old saying goes, "fake it till you make it."

Another way to show kindness is by giving hugs. Research has shown that people need at least 12 hugs a day to feel happy and healthy. So, go ahead and give your family members a big hug. Even if they stiffen up or back away, it's okay. It's the thought that counts. And who knows, they might even start to feel friendlier too.

As a pastor, I've seen firsthand how kindness can make a big difference in people's lives. When we show kindness to others, it's not just them who benefit, but we do too. It's a win-win situation. So, even when we're feeling tired, let's make an effort to be kind to those around us. We can do this by being friendly, giving hugs, and showing affection. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. And remember, as the scripture says, "whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40) By showing kindness to others, we're showing kindness to God. Let's make kindness a priority, even when we're feeling tired.
