GO THE EXTRA MILE


It's good to be generous and kind-hearted, to care for people and have time to listen to what they have to say.

Yet, there are times when we are tired and busy and not in top-form, so it can take a stretch for us to be patient and continue to care.

Perhaps these times are the best, because it requires the practise of virtue to do even the smallest act of kindness.

How God must smile on us. We have such a desire to be good, even saintly, and we barely manage to be human.

What a blow to our ego. How small we can feel, humbled by our lack of virtue as we would see it.

So, let's not worry when we are made aware of our lack of virtue and short-comings. God sees all.

He reads our heart and when the time is right He supplies us with the grace to go that extra mile, and win the race.
