Loving others

shouldn't be difficult.
or so I thought.

I've been thinking about this project so much and it makes me sad because I've realized I haven't done much loving lately. At the end of the day, it makes frustrates me that I even need to rack my brain for a kind act.
Today I had asp. My class was wonderful today, but looking back now I didn't interact and love them as much as I wished I had. As we were picking up the kids I remember talking to Gino and doing sudoku with him before the other kids arrived. I remember enjoying spending time with this sweet, innocent boy. Talking to him felt warm, genuine and joyful, even though it was a simple conversation. Just taking a few minutes to talk to Gino made his smile and share with me his day. But thats not only with kids, taking a few minutes out of my day to talk to a friend or family can really lift them up. I hope that I'll learn to take that time more seriously.
I know that I don't want to feel obligated to act with kindness, but rather act from the heart. I'm praying that God will teach me what it means to love.
