Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. - Colossians 3:12-13
Welcome to blog hop Friday. Last Christmas season I remember hearing about a campaign called - R.A.K., otherwise known as Random Acts of Kindness. Many ideas were given of ways to bless people during a hurried and often frazzled Christmas holiday.
Several places in scripture we are encouraged to show kindness one to another. I'm a firm believer that those acts of kindness shouldn't just be at a certain time of year but instead throughout each day.
This topic is one I had planned on writing about this week. To my surprise last night, the neighbor kids knocked on our front door. When we opened it, they handed us a bag of apples. They blessed us by their simple act of kindness.
Who can you bless today with an act of kindness? Are you known by being a kind man or woman? If not, what can you do to change that?

This is something I need work on. I get so caught up in my own stuff that I often forget others need a smile too.
You are so right in that kindness should be on-going throughout the day.
Kindness speaks volumes, and is an incredible testimony. I TRY to be kind always, but it doesn't always happen. SO I try again ;)
Great post - thanks!
I know what you mean, Joanne. :)
It isn't enough to do it once and be done with kindness for the day. Like you said Barbara, it's something we need to continually do.
J'nell, that battle with self can be hard, can't it. :) Thanks for stopping by.
I love practicing kindness. And it breaks my heart when hurting people lash out and are unkind and won't let you help them. That's the saddest, really. There is such freedom in being kind.
So true, Karla. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
