It's The Little Things

Good Morning!! Even today, more than 30 years later, I still marvel at this simple gesture. A total stranger, a man whom I would never see again, and who didn't even know my name,...this man took the time to stop, pick me up, take me to a station, return me to my car, and stayed to make sure I got it started. I am sure that he soon forgot this event,...but I have never forgotten it. This random act of kindness from a stranger, has inspired me help others, wherever I can.

And anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name, just because you belong to me, will surely be rewarded.—Mark 9:41 (AAJB)

God wants us to care for others in little ways,...a smile to the grocery checker, a note of appreciation to our Sunday school teacher, helping out somewhere without being asked. Two things we can be sure of: It will be noticed,...and it will make a difference.

It's our small and random acts of kindness, that make the world a better place.

Thank You, Lord, for those who inspire us by their kindness. Show us how to help others today, by doing little things too. Amen.

"Realize that we are not just saved to be forgiven of our sins, or to be assured of our eternity in heaven,
...but we are saved to know God."
