Kind

I learned again today.  Never underestimate the power of kindness. How can you be kind?

  1. Sometimes it's just a smile, sometimes it's doing something nice for someone else. It's not that hard to be kind.

    Have a fabulous day. ♥

  2. "We are all sounding boxes of the pains of others because we are interconnected. Being complete and at the same time components of a larger whole, we can change the world by simply changing ourselves. If I turn into a center of love and kindness at this moment, perhaps, even if to a limited extent but not altogether insignificant, now the world can dispose of this nucleus of which it was devoid of moments before. This benefits me and others. "

  4. Our associate pastor posted on the church website about showing kindness to others. He challenged us to ask the Lord who we can share an ecouraging word to. Regine I think you and our pastor were thinking alike this week!

    1. I sent my reply to quickly. Here are my ideas for showing kindness

      Send a card
      Call a friend
      Offer to pray with someone who is in need
      Have tea or coffee with a friend
      Offer help to a new mom
      Offer to babysit a married couple who need to have a date night
      There are others but those come to mind.

  5. I try to be polite to strangers and hold the door for them. I always appreciate it when people do that for me!

  7. Kind people are rare to find! Yesterday, on the crowded train, nobody gave way to my mother, almost eighty years old! Horrendous !!

  9. Sometimes we can be kind with little details like helping someone, treating people with respect and talking nice words, sharing our knowledgke, etc..

  10. A smile. A thoughtful action -- often unexpected. Not leaping to conclusions. Trying to see the other side before reacting. Random acts to friends and strangers. Listening.
