The virtue for the month of March is "kindness" (for all I meet). Jesus came with a new commandment, "Love one another as God loves you." This love we have from God is shown to others through our kindness. As we treat others at home and school kindly, we obey God's command. The virtue for the month of April is "joy" (to share a smile). As believers in Christ, we have the gift of true joy--a feeling of complete happiness that comes from knowing that our God loves us, that we belong to a family of believers, and that our heavenly home awaits.
