Rev Judith Cooke
Every now and then, I receive a random act of kindness, which always touches my heart. I have found anonymous tea left on my desk, a book of prayers, a picture colored by a child. While I always wish I knew who to thank for such thoughtfulness, not knowing moves me to see everyone around me as wonderful givers.
Life has been challenging for quite some time, and the result has been stress and strain on countless people. And these people need kindness. The Bible speaks again and again of God’s “loving kindness.” As followers of Christ, we are to share in the ministry of offering kindness to bless others.
This week, I invite you to choose a random act of kindness to share with another. Perhaps it could be leaving cookies for a coworker, mailing an encouraging card, returning a stranger’s grocery cart. And as you share your random act of kindness, pay attention for the caring gestures others offer to you.
The world can be a tough place, but with the grace of God, we can play a part in making it a more loving, kind, and beautiful place.
