Practice kindness

Paul calls the community to let Christ's peace rule and His word dwell richly among them. Compassion and forgiveness belong alongside gratitude and worship. A household can practice these same habits. Let shared faith shape ordinary words and routines, rather than appearing only when someone has failed.
