Small Kindnesses

I’m growing more appreciative of little acts of kindness these days.

Kindness, after all, is a fruit of the Spirit.  Gal. 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, KINDNESS, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control…”

I want to “Do Kindness” and “Notice Kindness” more often.

My sister died a few years ago.  What a tremendous loss.  I lost my sister, but I cannot imagine what my parents went through, losing one of their children.

My Mother turned 85 on June 27, and what I saw on her facebook page, was 9 of my sister Thaila’s high school friends, wishing my Mom a Happy Birthday.  Granted, we grew up in a small town, but their simple gesture almost made me cry.  It was so nice of them to show a small kindness to my Mom.  (and it only took a minute or two)

Small Kindnesses.  I’m thankful for them.

Be on the Lookout to notice the small kindnesses around you!
