Am touched. Great to read and learn.
For some reason, your words of kindness brought to mind a quote that is stored in the library of my mind. “If you want the rainbow, you most first endure the rain “
My heart’s posture is loving my neighbor as myself as Jesus taught.
“What would Jesus do?” is a lifestyle.
Hii. I usually don’t make an habit of posting things publically . But just wanted to say that thank you! I am waiting to start a ripple with no logical end. Afterall touching one person through what we are trying, resembles the success of the act.
omg! the 1st and last ones were so sweet and cute
Good way of telling, and good post to take data concerning my presentation subject matter, which i am going to present in college.|
Thank you for offering your work to all. I read these acts of kindness through happy tear filled eyes. This is what it means to be human. Very appropriate reading at Christmas time which can become an exercise in impatiently getting through the Christmas Present buying and card writing. I resolve to really think about each person I write a card for and choose presents with care. Namaste.
i really like to see these photos. it makes my armpits tingle :). ryan is a silly boy
ok nice
Allow me to use the stories in my radio program, “Mission Pagbabago (Change)” to inspire many others to do acts of kindness. Aired at DWDD 1134 Khz AM band, in the Philippines (every saturday 5-7pm)….big thanks!
It’s not just the act you express onto others. The rewards reach everyone. If you are so lucky to be able to take a breath, then appreciate others who are less fortunate in any circumstance. Take a minute or two understanding the wealth you possess by observing reactions as a whole. The time you apply helping is insurmountable. Understand appreciation. I learned after having 4 organ transplants. The ball is in your court.
I found it so hard to go through these through my tear filled eyes, this made my day and inspired me!
It’s actually so difficult to read through this without bursting into tears
I absolutely love these. Thank you so much for taking the time to share, and for inspiring me to remember kindness today.
I don’t usually respond to social media. I was looking for visual examples of kindness for a set design. This made me cry. Whenever I see or hear about acts of kindness I cry. It’s like entering Grace. Wish we could wallpaper the world in these kinds of images & quotes, to create a new awareness of what the world could be driven by. Sometimes we spend too much time trying to figure out our own personal problems, when a simple gesture of kindness of our own could make a meaningful & significant shift in our perspective & relationship with life itself. Reaching across that expanse from one human being to another doesn’t have to be a crevasse. Thank you for reaching across that crevasse & helping me over.
nice
The world could definitely use more of this. Helping someone in need is good for the recipient as well as the giver
