Small Things.

One of the men who attends my church is old. He doesn't complain, but you can tell he is always hurting. His shoulders have a limited range of motion. He sits on the end of the pew. I stoop down and reach a little farther, so he doesn't have to move too much to receive the offering plate from my hand. When I shake hands with him, I put my hand where his is, instead of making him contort to reach mine.

Pay attention to people, and have a care. Many small kindnesses can tend to pile up into generally kind treatment. Also, when you want to choke somebody out, don't.

Wait, what?

Two sides of the same coin. Consideration for the needs of others. Think about it.
