Acts of Kindness
One act of kindness
Can mean so very much
Just a pleasant smile
Or a gentle touch
Maybe an encouraging word
At the right time
Could end one’s depression
And make their eyes shine
Reaching out to others
Is what it’s all about
It can be done quietly
There’s no need to shout
When you perform an act of kindness
You’ve dropped a pebble in a stream
The ripples can keep spreading out
Forever, it may seem
The person whose life you touched
May reach out to touch their brothers
And those brothers may reach out
To touch the lives of many others
God wants us to share
Our kindness and our love
He gave each of us the capacity
It came from up above
It feels good to help someone
To reach out when they are down
To put a smile on a face
Where once there was a frown
Remember God is watching
He sees everything you do
When you perform acts of kindness
God sends many blessings to you

It is so rewarding to do an act of kindness, especially when the person doesn’t expect it from you.
It makes you feel sooooo good… Sending a kind hello to all of you…

Yes, kindness is a wonderful virtue. We need to have more of it in our lives, and to pass it along to others ourselves.

Acts of kindness are acts of love too. Writing to or visiting an old friend or family member, who is confined to a nursing home or hospital, is reaching out with love. This serves as a reminder that he or she is not forgotten by those who really care and who treasure the shared memories and life they shared in the good old days. All the letters, cards, flowers, gifts and visitors helped to make a patient feel better and less depressed.

Acts of kindness are so crucial especially when you reach out to depressed friend you love very deeply, who became difficult to reach. When you want to erase every sad memory from their soul and replace them with
warmth, joy, humor and infinite love.

Because God loves us so much, we as his people are so saturated with this divine love ,we are called to share this love with those we meet in the course of daiky lives. Each time we touch others with our love in one little kindness or the other especially those who will never be able to repay us, we experience an inner satisfaction that material things cannot give. To the recepients of our kindness, their needs are not only met but their ego get elated. even when its just a smile.

This is truly beautiful,your words of sharing and caring are so important in our
mixed up world today.Your choice of music was most inspiring and perfect.
I feel the same way Mary,after giving a smile or hug along the way,it makes
the day a little bit brighter.
God Bless the author.

It is because of acts of kindness that we know kindness, generosity, caring, compassion and love still exist in a world that can seem so cold and bleak. But, I just live in the world, I am not of the world. My brightness come from knowing the love of God!

Elizabeth, Beautiful words you have spoken…Not long ago I became Homeless, but I wasn’t scared because I knew God was watching over me. I didn’t have hate in my Heart for those that wouldn’t help me…I just prayed for them and asked God to forgive them…A wonderful Friend gave me a Home, and I feel so blessed…There are good and caring people out there…God sent me to this Person, and I have even a closer relationship to God…He has blessed me in so many ways…I try to help those less fortunate…I Love all of God’s Children…It hurts when you Frown, but a smile feels so good…Live for God and you will be blessed, and that’s a promise…Smiles to all!!
God Bless…Nancy Ahern

I read that to change your “bad” thoughts, just SMILE and immediately your whole
mood changes… Try it…it works… (Not a whole face smile, just a tiny one.)
Hope this makes you happier. GOD loves you.
Blessings…Elizabeth W.

Walt: I read the bible EVERY DAY, EVERY DAY… I walk with the Lord every day, every day…GOD is Love… try forgiveness…it is beautiful… angry, but no hate sometimes, and then forgiveness…Did you know that JESUS had a great sense of humor??? Yes… You know, put a camel through the eye of the needle???, and other humor in the bible. I hope I made you smile…it looks good on you (and others.) Elizabeth

Dear Adewunmi: As mother Teresa said, “Do it anyway.” Even though it doesn’t seem to have an effect on the person, “do it anyway.” We are glad that we have done a kindness to someone, it makes us feel better. Blessings Elizabeth

Good point, its good to be kind but to people who will appreciate it not to those who will see it as what they are entitled to or as there right. If showing kindness do it with the whole of your heart. Giver never lack and there hands is always on the top.
December 30, 2009 @ 1:08 am
I always feel gratful and appreication to those who act of kindness in my life! they are really like God send!!! may God bless them and bless their families with forever happiness and joy and make them safe, wealth, healthy, and happy!

December 29, 2009 @ 6:42 pm
It is always happiness that you feel after performing a kind act. A lasting feeling of joyfullness. I can;t forget whoever has touched my heart in any way.
December 29, 2009 @ 6:11 pm
THIS IS SO TRUE,ANOTHER WAY TO SAY IT IS ; WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND! YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW! IT’S A SPIRITUAL LAW! BESIDES, IT JUST PLAIN FEELS GOOD TO BE KIND, OR DO SOMETHING KIND TO,OR FOR OTHERS!!
December 29, 2009 @ 4:09 pm
Yes, kindness is given in many ways. Sometimes I don’t know if the person I am talking to wants a hug, so I reach out and touch their arms and smile. It is always taken with a smile also. (And it didn’t cost anything.) Blessings. Elizabeth
