Think Spring !
Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day. The day to perform a few random acts of kindness. Almost any kind deed will do. This is a favorite day of many people and groups. People like the idea of showing a little kindness to others. Its a fun and good thing to do. And, they like being on the receiving end of this day as well. It makes both the giver and the receiver feel good.
Schools have used this day as an educational event, and to promote the value of kindness. Organizations have used this day to promote their cause, and for fundraisers.
Caution: What comes around, goes around. Random Acts of Kindness is highly contagious.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill
I believe that every day is a good day to be kind, but those random acts of kindness are the ones that are always a pleasant surprise.
Whatever the circumstance, random acts of kindness can brighten our day when we least expect them and in many cases inspire us to help others too.
Never underestimate the power of kindness. You never know how much happiness you can bring to someone’s life.
Old Man Winter is definitely being a little kinder to us this week weather wise. We are out of the deep freeze and it feels good.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday !
Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on; 'twas not given for thee alone, Pass it on; Let it travel down the years, Let it wipe another's tears, Till in Heaven the deed appears, Pass it on.
Henry Burton
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.
Henry Van Dyke
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3598. for kindness, it matters
3599. for temps in the 30’s
3600. for warm smiles, they are the universal language of kindness
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

A bit of love from someone dear…

I am going shopping today at Value World where I have a coupon. So I will see if I can find one or several ways to show kindness. Especially in traffic, lol. Value World is known to us as Val's and Salvation Army is "Sally's". Do you all use these silly names?
A lot of people here in Prescott practice random acts of kindness in the Starbucks drive through line; they'll pay for the drinks of the people behind them :) Always good to try to show a little kindness in all we do :)

I so much believe in this Pam! Random Acts of Kindness. They take little effort and can make a huge difference to the recipient! There is a village here in the UK, which is known as the kindest town in the UK, (Congresbury) and all because they started practicing Random acts of kindness several years ago. We watched about it on Songs of Praise this week. Oh that everyone would do this. God bless your day! Thanks for all that you share! xoxo
PS - You can read about that village here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/12087318/UK-kindest-village-Congresbury-north-Somerset-800-random-acts-of-generosity.html
