Most Words for the Day can be listened to using the link to the audio for the day, but today’s post is filled with photos and I urge you to refer to the written version to receive the full impact. Kindness comes in many shapes and forms as evidenced by the array of photos below. The uncivility of modern society stems from many different sources, with politics and the ruthless pursuit of power leading the list. I have reached a point whereby it is just too nauseating to follow the lies and character assassinations and I thought that you, like me, might need to take a break from it today. Check out these wonderful acts of kindness:
The man who gave the shoes off his feet to this homeless girl.
This motorcyclist who stopped to help an old woman pass safely.
This barber, who offers haircuts for the price of a single hug.
Consolation knows no color
The police officer who handcuffed himself to a woman to make sure she knew she’d have to take him with her.
The many people who helped make this boy’s dream come true.
This store employee who gives extra service.
The person who decided to put new tires on a stranger’s car just because he needed it.
The crowd who decided a fan should be able to watch the show, no matter what.
This dry cleaning place that helps the unemployed for free.
These kids helping an injured member of their rival team to score.
The man who played for fun and gave his winnings away.
This man who missed his train helping this older lady with her bags.
This man who gave something to a homeless man to occupy his mind.
And Dan, a man who, twice a week, buys coffee for every patient, nurse and doctor at local cancer centers.
This man who gave his umbrella away so this cat could have a dry night.
The paramedics who took an elderly man to the hospital and then came back and finished shovelling his driveway for him.
“Kindness lasts forever!”
A little kindness from all of us today will not solve the problems of the world or those in Washington D.C. but it’s a start. I’m going to do my part today. How about you?
Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
