Have You Taken Time to Show Someone Kindness Today

Quotes of Day: "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see...." 
~Mother Teresa

"A little kindness can work wonders like a medicine."
~Zachary 

Stories of the Day:
"The Wise Woman's Stone"
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him; she did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune; he knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."  
~Author Unknown

We who are Christians know what the wise women had--the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 
Speaking of kindness, I remember a day not long ago that was not going well; I got an email from someone thanking me for something I had done and that made such a difference.  While that was more gratitude on the part of the sender than kindness, I believe that gratitude and kindness go hand and hand.  Here is a good video about showing kindness.



Go make someone's day.
