Colossians 4:  Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.

Paul continues to give advice to the churches.  I am contemplating the remaining 21 days of my Random Acts of Kindness done in memory of the Sandy Hook victims, so this is the jumping-off point for my thoughts.  For the first 5 days, I focused on thanks.  Yesterday I did a random act, leaving a TGIF message and $5 for someone who worked in my building; I don't know whose car I left the message on.

Now, outsiders is a concept I haven't tackled.  Who are these outsiders?  How can I display kindness to them, and can I add a component of Christian love to my display? 

I will pray for guidance. 

Prayer:  Lord, guide me to the outsiders; those person who will benefit from a random act of kindness.  Show me the ways I can make the most of the opportunity to model Christian love to them.
Amen
