For I was an hungered and ye gave me meat

It's amazing how much hope you can give someone by simply giving them a meal or something good to eat. Whether someone is sick, homeless or alone, the simple act of providing a meal can make a huge difference.

A man's life consisteth not in...the things which he posseseth

You need to be careful of the things you try to hold on to. You could be grasping at the wrong thing!

Rejoice and be exceeding glad

Suggestions for today include sending a package to someone to show that you care, count your blessings, reach out to someone who has been a positive influence to you, and celebrate the accomplishments of others.

Forgive men their trespasses

Forgiveness is something that many of us struggle with. It's difficult to let go of anger, pain and sorrow caused by someone else. Yet we seek forgiveness all the time.

Healing comes when we forgive, and when we are forgiven. Bring peace to your life. Forgive someone their trespasses, and forgive yourself.

Ye shall meet together oft

It's good to meet together oft, but it's even better if there's an agenda and a purpose for the meeting!

I was naked and ye clothed me

I've heard it said that if you can give only one thing to a homeless person, give them a pair of socks. As Dumbledore said, "One can never have enough socks."

Blessed are the merciful

From The Merchant of Venice:

The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
‘Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown:
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;

Be gentle, be kind, be merciful today. Somebody out there needs it!
