NEWS FROM THE BISHOPRIC
Jerome Hirschi, Bishop Try a Little Kindness
I was looking for some inspiration in music recently. There are so many inspirational messages through music it’s hard to pick a favorite. Glen Campell made the song “Try a Little Kindness” popular years ago, but I love the simple message of the song. I’m going to use the inspiration of this song for one of my goals to show more kindness to others this year. Seems like the world could use more kindness these days. May I just share a couple of the verses of the song with you.
If you see your brother standing by the road With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed And if you see your sister falling by the way Just stop and say, "You're going the wrong way" Don't walk around the down and out Lend a helping hand instead of doubt And the kindness that you show every day Will help someone along their way I see many people in our ward and neighborhood showing so much kindness to others that it is truly inspiring to me. I hope to show more kindness to others this year and beyond.
