Tye-Dyed Kindness

Kindness is good.  Real good.

Especially on "those days".  The ones that linger on for a lifetime.

The ones that leave you with a few strands of hair left hanging on by a thread.

" And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."    Ephesians 4:32

It was our family verse growing up and it is now carrying on the tradition as family verse in this house.

It is complete. There's not too much and there's nothing left out. It covers all things.

So....what better idea than to make a kindness banner to remind us of those be-ye-kind-one-to-another moments.

Mama and Daddy included.

Here's how to do it:::

Gather up a few coffee filters and my most favorite kinds of markers....washables.

Find your favorite spot to hang out and color away.  There's no wrong way just use lots of different colors.

Some may like to explain just exactly what that is in their picture....

Don't laugh....we're all talented in different areas :)

Then string up some twine and hang those masterpieces.....

Run get the water bottle/bed-head-hair-fixer thingy and spray like you mean business......

Let those beautiful, runny creations blow in the wind til' they're dry.......

When they are good and "tye-dyed", gather them all up and make yourself a banner.....

And when sweet little loves are kind to one another, write it on a filter and hang it for all to see.....

Or when you come home from a long day (and your totally exhausted) and you find your sweet little husband remembered what it meant to "be ye kind one to another" and you find this......

So yes sir, he gets a place on that banner too!

I literally pray that above all things in my children's life, that God will give them a kind, tender heart toward others and to Him. That they will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and obedient to His will.

The truth is, I need this tye-dye kindness banner to remind me to "be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you", as much as anyone!
