Lyric Kinard at http://lyrickinard.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/kindness-chronicles_04.html has written a great blog about being kind. What can we do to be kind in the world? She has listed listed some wonderful ideas and challenged us to make an effort to be kind. So here is some of the kind things I have done these past couple of weeks....
- Told a lady at the supermarket she looked beautiful (this one always embarrasses my kids)
- Made smoothies for breakfast for everyone
- Told a child her hair looked lovely
- Phoned a friend have troubles
- Prayed for a friend in need
- Popped in and saw a friend whose dad is sick
- Did a chore normally assigned to one of my kids
- Sat and listened to a teenager
- Defended a person who was being put down
- Gave away produce from my garden (this one was kind to me too....does this count?)
What have you done kind this month. Join us on our quest for kindness
Love that you defended someone who was being put down. More of us need to do that. And I don't think the person who benefited from the gift of produce minds at all that it also benefited you!
