Amazingly Kind
Having never met her, I knew her.
Perhaps to some, in a small way;
but to me, she has loomed large.
Like you and I, she was acquainted
with loss and like "God Special Ones',
She lived to share her love with us.
Although I greatly rejoice when hearing
of 'random acts of kindness', there was
nothing random about Connie's kindness.
Her comments were targeted and always
pierced my heart through and through.
In three ways, I became acquainted with
her and was moved by the kindness that I
always felt through the comments from her.
In my mind, two comments from her personified
and summarized the loving person that Connie was.
And one reply from me to one of her comments to me
reveals how a person's comments can be so powerful:
On 82722, "Congratulation on your wonderful win".
On 81922, "Congratulation on your wonderful first place win".
On 62322, My reply to one of her congratulatory comments,
"And you are amazingly kind. Thanks, Connie".
Kindness* is one of the 9 attributes of the Fruit of the spirit.
Connie's fruit tree of kindness was loaded with nutrients.
I am one who has been deeply moved by her spirit because,
On more than one occasion, I feasted on her bountiful tree.
Connie was 'amazingly kind', and I shall miss her.
