Everyday Encounter...

Shared by Marc An Act of Kindness - Bastille This wasn't on my radar at all until last year when I was looking for a piece of music to go behind an Easter chalk drawing... A petition to the Hive-Mind of Facebook brought this song to my attention. (It was the perfect piece, as long as I removed the bridge about feeling guilty...) Here's the video I edited together: Have you ever noticed that the Cross is everywhere?
In the intentional through religious art. In the fashionable of jewellery and clothing. In the integral as a crucial part of the structure of architecture. And what if we used all those reminders to point back to Jesus' act on the cross? And what if we thought of it as an "Act of Kindness"? "Kindness: The quality of being generous..." A reminder of the generosity of God... A reminder of our calling to be generous with what we have received from God... Lyrics: An act of kindness Is what you show to me Not more than I can take Not more than I can take Kindness is what you show to me It holds me 'till I ache Overflow and start to break Oh I, got a feeling this will shake me down Oh I, kind of hoping this will turn me round And now it follows me every day And now it follows me every day, every day, every day And now it follows me every day And now it follows me every day, every day, every day An act of kindness Is what you show to me It caught me by surprise in this town of glass and eyes Kindness, so many people pass me by But you warm me to my core and you left me wanting more Oh I, got a feeling this will shake me down Oh I, kind of hoping it will turn me round Oh I, got a feeling that however slow Oh I, kind of hoping this will reach my soul And now it follows me every day And now it follows me every day, every day, every day And now it follows me every day And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
