God's Way - Road to Kindness: 12-2-2018

Advent is such a special time to share our kindness with each other and with our community! The Advent season is a time of preparation: we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
 
We are so excited about our second annual Advent Kindness Program! This Advent season we invite you to prepare your hearts and go on a kindness journey. We have prepared everything you need for your kindness journey: our church’s Advent    Kindness Calendar with 25 Acts of Kindness and the  Advent Kindness Cards for you to spread your kindness with others. Reach out, become inspired, and make someone smile!
 
Kindness = Being friendly, generous, and considerate!
 
We want to share a wonderful story of a young girl that helped to bring a smile to someone that needed one. This story is taken from the website entitled “Raising Lifelong Learners.”
 
“Molly had a candy cane that she was going to hand out to someone she thought needed a smile. Molly was in the checkout line with her family and she noticed that the woman at the checkout seemed sad. As she approached the woman, she handed her the candy cane and said ‘Merry Christmas.’ Attached to the candy cane was a card that said ‘you are a blessing to us during this season and always. Please enjoy this act of Christmas kindness and know that you matter.’ As the woman read the card, her face softened and a smile lit her eyes. She came around from the register and hugged Molly, and with tears in her eyes, she thanked her.”
