Being Nice

Just because your children, spouse, friend does not appreciate your telling them that you love them, why do you withhold saying it?  Are you waiting until they earn it or appreciate it?  When Jesus died on the cross, who said, "Thank you?"  Did anyone earn it?  Why let the bad or obtuse behavior of others control your actions and words?  An unexpected kiss can make a day.  It might even make your day.

  1. Fear - that's my reason. My feelings might not be recpricocated and my friend would be embarrassed and leave.

  2. I tell those that are dear to me every time we speak that I love them. Friends by my actions also.

  3. We have to get out of the way, to let God work in our lives. Thank you for your guidance and inspiration. I apologize for getting your name wrong yesterday- I was in too big of a hurry, brimming with joy.

  4. Well Fr, I am a fan of your blog; but your preaching always hits a homerun for me and my girls. I promise a hug and an intro when next we meet. I try for humility and it comes as shyness
