We (you & I) have the ability to do great things especially when we work together for the common good. First, let’s pause for a moment and ask ourselves, “what am I doing (what sacrifice am I making) to make our world better”?
There is nothing greater that mankind can do than provide kindness, compassion and empathy in the manner we would like to be treated. It’s good therapy seeing another person’s beautiful smile even if it’s only in the eyes. Listen, I can feel and see love in a smile and I can also discern (most of the time) if you are pretending. Spreading love makes me feel good and warm inside. It all starts when we reach out from beyond our comfort zone and focus on more than our own individual needs.
During this period of time, so much is going on and happening all around us. We have become disconnected according to what we are commanded. Tragedies have become so overwhelming that we have totally changed how we are look at life and each other. It also has an affect on what we are to be doing with our lives everyday.
Many days when I have been at my lowest it was either a smile from a cashier or someone holding the door open or simply a greeting of, “Hello, how are you” from someone I never met that inspired and lifted me up. Now I try each day to be a blessing to someone, and when I read inspiring blogs and posts they are a blessing to me.
An act of kindness can be a smile, a hug or a kind word and it gives others an opportunity to smile. There are so many other ways to extend kindness but we have to look for every opportunity. How many times have you thought about doing something for someone but you didn’t and knew later you should have? It’s easy to miss your cue to do something when you don’t trust the nudging on the inside. When you trust God you are not afraid to extend kindness. You reach out not just to the good, but the bad and ugly. If you want life to get better share your heart.
We will never feel life is fair, but little acts of kindness can make us believe and feel we have purpose.
You don’t have to have money or materialistic things to share something with someone – just share the greatest gifts that have been given to you. A broken heart need to know someone care, we all need a friend and someone who is depressed need a listening ear. You have the gift and ability to extend all of this and more. When we connect and share acts of kindness we become a powering force to do great things. We all are here to be earth angels but sometime we have to set the precedent for others to know just how special they are.
At the end of day take a look in the mirror I promise you will feel good about the person staring back at you. You will think about how grateful you are for the person you have become. I also promise after a month you will be addicted and look forward to extending acts of kindness.
