 3. 4 S’s to Show Kindness http://www.markmerrill.com/2012/07/20/4-ss-to-show-kindness/

"1. See needs of people all around us—physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. That means you and I need to stop and look. Be observant.
2. Sympathize with people’s pain and struggles. We’ve got to identify and empathize with them, feel what they feel.
3. Seize the moment. Do what we can, when we can. Don’t wait. It’s okay that you’re interrupted. It’s okay that it’s inconvenient.
4. Spend lavishly to meet the need. We should give our time, talent, and treasure to others without expecting anything in return." Worth quoting from Mark Merrill.

Is this suppose to surprise someone?
