If you can't feed 100 people, then feed just one.

Words from Mother Theresa. Such great words.

Kindness is one of the most magnificent endeavors of being human. It is practical in a day-to-day sense as well as exhilarating in its consequences. Because kindness comes from the heart, learning and practicing kindness whether we’re a child, a teen or adult, has a powerful quality to alter our relationships and bring us closer together and to God.

Listening to a friend’s story, putting out own views aside, smiling, doing a favor for someone spontaneously, or offering a word of encouragement are simple, beautiful acts of kindness. We need only accept the invitation from our own hearts to express this magnificent gift.

Every great endeavor consists of little steps first.  We are greeted daily with perfect opportunities to take little steps on the path of our magnificent endeavor with kindness. Let's take advantage of them.

Although I haven't had time to do much with Acts of Kindness... I have plans for it. It's been running through my mind. I can NOT wait to be done with school! :)
