Hello Ladies! Generally, we think of affability meaning friendliness or being good-natured. Aren't we already doing that? Well, yes, but how often are we stingy or particular about our affability? Do we fail to give particular people the benefit of the doubt? How often do we limit our friendships to those who are just like us?
It can be hard to share our friendliness with someone who doesn't "click" with us well, but that's what we're called to do. We need to care for the souls of everyone we encounter, including those who might not be easy to love. It's only something that can be cultivated through our own lives being full, especially through prayer. Let's ask God to show us how best to love those around us, and to give us the patience, peace, and affability to do it well.
