Blog Post 7/16/2022 – Why Be Kind?


In 1995, A Random Act of Kindness Day was first created in Denver, Colorado by a small nonprofit organization.  

Aesop wrote, "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." 

St. Teresa of Calcutta said, “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”  

Leo Buscaglia said, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

 

St. Paul wrote to the Colossians, “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.”

 

Jesus gave us this command, “Love one another as I love you.”

 

Today and each day God gives you [here] on earth offer acts of kindness [not random acts but intentional acts] then you can share God’s kindness with people.  By offering acts of kindness, you will help make the world a better place, a place where God’s Kingdom can grow.

 

May God Be Praised!
