Give and TakeNäide

Think about the last time someone showed you unexpected kindness. Maybe someone bought your dinner, helped you clean your room, or helped you learn how to do something. How did it make you feel? This verse encourages us to do that for the people around us. It's a challenge to be proactive in our relationships, setting the tone with kindness and compassion, but with God’s help, it’s something we can all do.

To help memorize this verse, write each word of the verse on a separate Post-it note. Stick them in order on a wall, desk, or door you see often. Each time you pass by, remove one Post-it and recite the verse, including the missing word. As the notes disappear, you'll find the verse appearing more clearly in your memory.
