Love is kind.
1 Corinthians 13 : 4
The dictionary defines "kindness" as an attribute of someone who is gentle, generous, friendly, and benevolent. What a beautiful picture of how God extends Himself. And what a great example for you as you reach out to those around you.
Kindness is more than an attitude; it's an action. It looks for ways to meet needs and make others smile. Pause for a moment and think about all the ways God has been kind to you. Then, ask Him to help you extend yourself in kindness to those whose lives you touch ~including the strangers who move through your life each day.
Your actions may be just the answer to prayer someone needs.
A kind heart is a fountain of gladness,
making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.
Washington Irving

Hello Carol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of quotes and thoughts on the often underrated quality of kindness!! I agree, one small act of kindness could absolutely turn someone's day around. I know that I have been the welcome recipient of many a kind act over the years~~many arrived just when I was in MOST need of them. Consequently, I try to return the kindness (literally :) whenever the opportunity arises.
Blessings and good thoughts to you!
Warmly,
Tracey
