I try to always be kind and Freindly to people I come across in all kinds of situations,but this post got thinking about the impact we can make by stepping it up even just a little more. It is easy to forget the needs of others and how good you can make them feel about themselves with just a simple act. I try to hold the door for people, but maybe just an extra second or two out of my day to wish them well and give them a smile also. My wife Susan is great at trying to find something to compliment people about, like telling the cashier they have a pretty shirt (this one is not that good for a man without sounding creepy),or thanks for the great service etc.. I am going to try to step it up and put in the little extra effort. Besides it will probably make me feel good if I get a smile back! A little off topic, but still making people feel welcome and accepted will help us all feel connected. Wow, this really got me thinking.

My next step with God is in the area of prayer. I need to take time to talk to him in ways that are deeper and more focused. I often shoot up a quick prayer, I talk about business, but I don't sit down enough and talk to him thoughtfully and meditatively.
