Lost but not forgotten...
Somebody has got to do something. It could be small thing. Big thing. Few thing. Many things. Or anything.
A particular person left something. And one of her great many things is a legacy to the world in turmoil. She left this quote:
"No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind of action leads to another. A good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves." - Amelia Earhart.
Amelia Earhart was the first woman to courageously fly solo across the Atlantic on July 1, 1937.
However, on July 2nd her plane mysteriously disappeared. And she just fade out of the skies and never heard from her again.
She disappeared. Lost. But has found a place in the heart of humanity.
I have learned in the Catechism class that there are 12 fruits of the Holy Spirit. They are 1. charity 2. joy 3. peace 4. patience 5. Kindness 6. goodness 7. generosity 8. gentleness 9. faithfulness 10. modesty 11. self-control 12. chastity.
How about sharing these fruits, especially the act of kindness? Tell friends you met to plant trees that bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit so that we can eat the fruit of kindness every day. Remember Johnny, the Appleseed?
Spread the good news! The 7 continents would be filled up with 12 kinds of beautiful trees; trees whose leaves absorb the carbon dioxide of selfishness, anger, war, violence, terrorism, blind obedience, hatred, pride, envy, lust, and sloth.
And by eating the fruits of these trees we will have wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.
