Small Things That Keep the Darkness at Bay

 

Daily Gratitude Year 14-Day 292: Today, I am grateful for the small things that keep the darkness at bay. 

"I found it is the small, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay... small acts of kindness and love." -Gandalf, The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien

I love the wisdom in this quote. It reminds us that little acts of kindness and love not only matter, they are much more powerful than we realize. Light always dispels darkness and small acts of kindness and love keep us human. We can all do those things. 

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” – 1 Peter 4:10


There will be many opportunities to show grace and love today. Small acts of kindness and love can be exactly what someone else needs to get through this day and this week. Showing up in love and kindness at just the right time is a superpower. No cape needed. 

Today, I am grateful for the small things that keep the darkness at bay.
