This one is so easy, it is difficult!
Would it be the comments a friend posts when
they think you need a boost? Would it be
the pumpkin pie a friend brings because you're going to spend Thanksgiving away
from family? Would it be the stranger
who gives you an extra big smile and welcomes you to a table of new
people? Would it be the person who lets
you know they know *who* you are and like you anyways? Would it be the friend who comes to see you
do something difficult to support you?
Would it be when they help you move towards your goals by promoting you
to others? Would it be the friend who
got you involved in writing cards with positive affirmations to others? Would it be the friend who shows up with a
bag of groceries when money is a bit more scarce than you might like?
Or would it be the time that you reached into
your pocket to give your change to the gentleman in front of you at the
til? Or the time that you paid for the
coffees for the car ahead of you? Or the
time you took to walk someone less 'sure of foot' accross the street?
I love acts of kindness.
The acts of kindness I give, help me to feel joy, purpose and meaning.
The acts of kindness I receive help me to feel that the world is looking out
for me - that God is making sure I don't go without when life has less to offer
than what he wants me to have.
