God's Way - The Road to Kindness: 11-11-2018

11/9/2018

0 Comments

 
​November 13 is “World Kindness Day!” This is a day to be kind and to do Acts of Kindness!
 
“World Kindness Day was created in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, a conglomeration of kindness organizations around the world.  This unofficial holiday encourages people to be kind to each other and spread happiness, joy, and peace through kindness.
 
Kindness is considered a virtue and is valued in most societies, and religion has an important quality. Kindness is the act of being considerate, compassionate, and empathetic towards other people and living beings.”
 
How can you celebrate “World Kindness Day?” 
  • Smile and do kind things for people. Give up your seat on the bus to someone else. Buy someone’s coffee for them. Volunteer your time at the local soup kitchen. Leave a kind note for someone.
  • Students: help your teachers by cleaning up the classroom. Teachers: tell your students how special they are to you and to their community.
  • Kindness should not only be reserved for our fellow human beings. Be kind to the animals and to the environment as well.
  • If you have children in your life, teach them the virtue of kindness by practicing it in your daily life. Children learn by observing how their   parents treat others.
  • Visit a senior living facility and share some time just listening. Visit a hospital and read a book to a child.
  • Share a hug with someone that needs some special attention.
  • Tell someone how much you care about them!
 
God’s Way – “The Road to Kindness” at work again! This time, God’s Way is touching everyone around the entire world!
 
Blessings to you! Have a wonderful World Kindness Day on November 13 and a week filled with kindness!
