Kindness, Grace & Mercy Can Go A Long Way If Done Correctly
Simple acts of kindness can make someone's day, and you may not even know you did it. We have no clue what other people are dealing with in life and it could be you that changes someone's life with just one simple thing that could be a game changer. Simple Acts Of Kindness Can Cost You Nothing Most people think when simple acts of kindness are done, it's going to cost you a lot of money. I'd bet that 99% percent of the time, you can do it and it won't cost you a penny. How? Well, here are some things you can do for people that will not cost you anything but time. *A smile*Help someone load their groceries*Speak to a stranger*Volunteer your time with a charity *Hold a door for someone*Go visit a friend you've not seen in a while*Send a text to someone and let them know you are thinking about them Simple Acts Of Kindness Change Lives-Like This One I saw this story over the weekend about a kid in Sioux Falls, South Dakota who was charged with painting graffiti on a wall in the city. What the Mayor of Sioux Falls did next was life-changing for this teenager. https://www.tiktok.com/@cbsnews/video/7406109342954540319?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7349970507281122859 So while the Mayor could have seen the charges against this teenager carried out, doing simple acts of kindness changed this young man's life forever. When you think, I'm just one person and I can't change the world, or I don't have the money to change the world or to help others, you do. The one person you pass at Walmart today who looks like they've lost their best friend, speak. The next time you are ordering lunch and the person behind the counter is not very friendly, ask them how their day is going. 9 out of 10 times, you will see them change immediately. Why? Because you took the time to be nice to them and we all want that.
