“Do well by doing good.” Unknown

Imagine how the world would change if everyday, everybody did good in everything. Some might argue how would we decide what is good? It is true that people do have different ideas about goodness. Jesus has a few practical suggestions of His own. He tells us to take care of people who have no means to take care of themselves--widows in need, orphans, refugees, and the like. There is plenty of good to spread around without debating the finer points. What does it matter if I feed a homeless man who is homeless because He is lazy. While I am not in favor of enabling the lazy, unconditional kindness may move them to get a job. Good is good.
