Measuring...

This scripture sure makes me want to be generous with others:
"Unto the day when the Lord shall come to recompense unto every man according to his work, and measure to every man according to the measure which he has measured to his fellow man" (Doctrine and Covenants 1:10, emphasis added).
So much of harshness in today's world. I often wonder why it hurts to give just a bit of kindness or "benefit of the doubt."

I know that when I'm driving down the freeway and someone cuts me off, kindness is the last sentiment I feel. :0) But this is my new emphasis for this year - to give kindness in all settings, not just when I feel like it. (And D&C 1:10 above ensures me it will be well worth it . . . even on the freeway. :0)
