Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 16: Today, I am grateful for those who warm the world with kindness.
"One kind word can warm three winter months." -Japanese Proverb
Kindness is a superpower. It can change someone's day. The simple acts of kindness are some of my favorites.
In our little village, it is not uncommon at the grocery store to see someone with a full cart allow the person behind them to go first, when they have only a few items. Older men and women will let the person with little ones go ahead of them, too. (Little ones grow weary of grocery shopping quickly.) These acts of kindness cost nothing but a few moments of our time.
Never underestimate the power of a kind word or deed. You do not have to be healthy, wealthy, or highly intelligent to be kind. Kindness matters.
Speak kind words to a stranger. You never know who is at the end of their proverbial rope and a kind word may be the thing that brings hope and begins healing.
"When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness." -Proverbs 31:26
Kindness is a powerful choice.
Today, I am grateful for those who warm the world with kindness.
