Kindness and Two Sisters

"Helping others isn't a chore; it is one of the greatest gifts there is."
~ Liya Kebede

On a recent overseas visit, I went on a sightseeing tour with a group of work colleagues.  We were joined by two nuns -- one approaching 90 and the other much younger.  The younger nun was accompanying the older religious.  In this capacity, she helped her get in and out of the van, assisted her as we made our way through cobblestone streets and looked after her at meals.  Frequently, they walked hand in hand as the younger sister steadied the older one.  The younger nun did all her helping with a smile and gentle kindness.
