Lesson #3

Kindness - only kindness matters. In just a matter of 12 days, my family has experienced an immense amount of kindness in the midst of losing Zavier. It's amazing! I think we never really realized so many people cared. From old friends to new friends, from old co-workers to new co-workers, our churches and families, classmates, and strangers.

Not one single day has gone by since January 8th that we have not stopped talking about these acts of kindness. We've sat around the table in amazement and sharing the stories with each other.

It's kinda funny because I'm sure that people have been kind to us in the past and on a regular basis. Perhaps, we didn't experience it all once in such a great volume. We didn't recognize it as kindness, or maybe even appreciated it as kindness...

God works like that - He is working and we are seeing things, the world, people - with a new set of eyes. The eyes, that maybe, He planned for us to have.
