Acts of kindness should be commonplace

A random act of kindness is something anyone can do and make two people's day so much better.
On the receiving end, the recipient of an act of kindness will be elated, and the giver or doer of an act of kindness would also be elated for giving or making the kind gesture, deed or action.

I would say doing something nice or kind should be a regular daily habit. Fit kindness into your normal daily activities by looking for instances to surprise someone with an act of kindness.

Acts of kindness can become contagious- age, social class, gender don't not matter. Nobody doesn't like being treated kindly by another by action, word or deed.

The giver receives a wonderfully rewarding, warm feeling for doing something nice towards another person.

Here's a list of ideas to get you started on acts of kindness so you can feel good and make others feel good as well.

A world filled with more gentle and caring people would be very beneficial for all.

Why not make kind acts more than just random happenings? It would make every day so much more pleasant for the givers and the receivers of kindness.

True friends become more precious with time

Two things amaze me. 

1. There's no way anyone can out-give God, and 

2. There's nothing outside of God's reach or influence.

When I was younger I remember pondering that if God knows everything, He already knew that I would be pondering that he'd already knew I'd be pondering that he'd already know that I'd be pondering that He already knew. At times I sometimes come up with crazy thoughts- well, God made me this way so I'm really not crazy at all. I'm the way God made me to be.

Also, I find it's amazing the people God has brought into my life as well as the circumstances which brought them into my life.
While I was practicing chiropractic and massage therapy, little did I know a select few of my patients were going to become my best and dear friends.

Over years, the hours they spent receiving treatments on my massage table is where my friendships developed and deepened.
Over the years since then, those friendships have continued deepening into bonding, loving friendships, tying and linking us without the need to have to speak every day or week. And when we do speak or get together, we know our friendship hasn't faded nor weakened, but has actually blossomed into a solid, sincere, binding, fine friendship which continually growing deeper over time.

I thank God for bringing one dear friend into my life. (I'll call her Jill, and I thank God for all my friends).
Jill is very bright, intellectual and has a very contagious laugh. Laughing is special for us to engage in when we're together.
She's very thoughtful with a very generous and kind heart. 
She supports an organization supporting women and children needing an escape from an abusive relationship.
She also supports the American Red Cross which helps a lot of people in times of need. Most likely, I don't know all the organizations she supports.

I like the plaque at her back door which reads, 

'The best things in life are free'. 

I could write so much about each of my true friends and what my endearing friendships with them means to me.

To me, these are examples of God giving the best and the most in any circumstance.

In not the best of incidents or situations, He brought lives to meet, intertwine, flourish and grow into true friendships.

My true, loving friendships are priceless and I'm richly blessed from them. 

My friendships become more precious with each passing year.


Thank you Lord for knowing I would need and enjoy the dear, wonderful 

friends you brought into my life.
