The definition of kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Kindness is the simplest way in which we can show love one to another, and the generosity of one’s thoughtfulness is felt from the heart to the soul.

Kindness is a beautiful gift that we can share with each other and it doesn’t have to cost a penny. There are many ways we can spread love, happiness, and joy. It can be as simple as opening a door for someone, smiling at another person, offering to help carry groceries to the car for them.

My in-laws have such thoughtful neighbors. Many mornings the neighbors take their paper and put it on the front porch for them, and sometimes they leave candy with the paper.

How can you and I be of service to others? First we must take time to look around and tune into what’s going on right where we are.

My challenge to you this week is to share at least one random act of kindness each day, that’s seven opportunities to spread love this week. Write to me sharing what acts of kindness you spread into this world. Next week I will write a post sharing all the beautiful gifts of love that touched the heart and soul of many people. Every act of generosity is a blessing, a gift not only to the one you’ve reached out to, but also you’re heart is filled with an overflowing abundance of joy.

I accept this challenge as well. Together we can make a difference in the lives of many people. It begins with you and with me.

With much love,

Alice
