Be kind.

Was doing some reading tonight and I thought this was lovely. It was affirming for at least myself. Corinthians is my absolute favorite. I’m not what most consider a conventional Christian. I don’t do churches. I don’t go around throwing my bible in the air condemning others for their sins. I don’t do a lot of the “stuff” that other Christians do that make us all generally look bad. Nature is my church and my actions are my ministry of god to others. I don’t run around with a camera and throw my good deeds on social media for praise. I’m openly Christian to anyone that asks. I’ve lost friends for it which sucks. But, at the end of the day I know that most of that hatred and discrimination comes from actions done by false Christians. So many people run around showing face at church and dressing fancy and putting on the act of being good Christian people but at the end of the day their hearts and minds are ugly. Which is what the bad guys were banking on. So to all of my truly good people, keep putting up the good fight we gotta lot of ugly to make up for now adays. 📖☺️✝️✌🏻 #godlyperspective #unconventionalchristian #bekind #readyourbibledaily #corinthians

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced society, the need for kindness has never been more crucial. Many individuals feel disconnected from traditional religious practices, seeking spiritual fulfillment through genuine interactions with nature and humanity rather than through organized institutions. This article explores the notion of unconventional Christianity, where the core values of love and kindness take center stage. Reflecting on 2 Corinthians, we see a call to authenticity in our spiritual lives. The text emphasizes that our actions should genuinely reflect our faith, promoting a sense of community that transcends superficial appearances. Acts of kindness, as the writings suggest, should not be for public validation but stem from a place of sincere love for others. By embodying compassion in our lives, we create a ripple effect, encouraging those around us to embrace their own unique spiritual journeys. Furthermore, the discussion highlights how society often overlooks the meaning of true Christianity, which lies in humility and unyielding support for one another. The false representation of faith can create barriers, making it essential for those who identify as genuine believers to foster a welcoming, compassionate atmosphere. Acts of kindness not only reflect our individual beliefs but also help dismantle stereotypes associated with Christianity, promoting a broader understanding of faith that prioritizes action over words. Ultimately, the message resonates: regardless of our differing views on faith, everyone can contribute to a kinder world through love, understanding, and action. By embracing our unique expressions of faith, we can continue to fight the tide of negativity and encourage a culture of support and kindness.

Homemade chicken taquitos - several ways you can make them. This is just one way we tried it. We’re doing buffalo chicken next!  Use whatever kind of tortilla you want - I only like flour tortillas and that's what was on hand and was not about to go to the store… One rotisserie chicken -

A kind woman was once asked
How can you be so gentle in a world that is so harsh? She smiled and, pointing to her heart, she said, When you are strong on the inside, you can afford to be soft on the outside, for there is no need to prove what already exists within. Words by Tahlia Hunter @semua orang

I Have The EASY Kind Of Autism? 😳🗣️
