I hope this is okay to post here. It might belong in R/T--I'm not sure. Anyway, as most of you know, I am no Believer. I am not religious at all. Still, I found this video very touching. I don't know how much the opinion of a nonbeliever means to those of you who *do* believe, but for what it's worth...when I think of the "ideal Christian" in my mind, THIS is exactly what I see.

Happy Holidays, all--no matter what you believe, kindness is a virtue that is universally Good.

1. Will you think I'm a total sap if I tell you I cried a little?
:hug:

Reminds me of a story about a woman who was a long time server in a "soup kitchen." And just before they would open the doors she would gather the other volunteers together and say, remember - "Jesus is coming through this line today."

3. My dear oktoberain...
Oh, sweetie...

Thank you so much for posting this here, and not in R/T...

I would never have seen it there, and how much I would have missed...

This is exactly what I see when I think "ideal Christian" too...

Kindness: something we could all use a whole lot more of these days. And you have just shown us how...

:hug:
