#BeKind Enough with the Violence, Give Peace A Chance

Have you noticed how angry and unhappy people seem to be these days? I was just thinking how much better the world would be if we all tried to be a little more kind. If we stopped waiting for someone else to be the nice one first and instead we extended an act of kindness.  The song “Let There Be Peace on Earth’” comes to mind. Remember that one? In case you don’t,

The words are so powerful, but if you prefer to listen over reading, here’s an amazing performance by Gladys Knight:

May I challenge you to be deliberately kind each day? Maybe you could even let us know when someone sends a kind act your way. Who knows, maybe we can be the start of a movement that changes the world for the better. #Bekind

Here are the lyrics:

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me

Let there be peace on earth

The peace that was meant to be

With God as our father

Brothers all are we

Let me walk with my brother

In perfect harmony

Let peace begin with me

Let this be the moment now

With every step I take

Let this be my solemn vow

To take each moment

And live each moment

To take each moment

And live each moment

To take each moment

And live each moment

In peace eternally

Let there be peace on earth

Let there be peace on earth

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin

With me (me)

With me

Songwriters: Jill Jackson / Sy Miller
