Life's beauty can come with challenging days. In those moments,  our character shines the brightest.  At those times,  grace for ourselves and others has the greatest rewards. The kindness shown without expectation is the most sincere and loving gift of all because when we give, our blessing comes from above, not man.  
 So the next time you find it hard to be kind because you may be experiencing your own bout of depression, regret, loss, or hell on earth, remember that you're not alone in your present challenge. The stranger right next to you may be experiencing the same pain so give what you need because life has a way of circling back to you and my prayer is that kindness and grace are your return.
