God's Way - The Road To Kindness: 4-30-2017

4/30/2017

0 Comments

 
Kindness – what does it mean to you? It has a very special meaning to our Parish. Kindness starts at home and home to us is our Parish Family, and that’s why this program is so important to us! God wants us to show our Kindness! Kindness is:
  • Finding and bringing compassion and understanding to others
  • Accepting others
  • Supporting others
  • Acting without the expectation of being recognized or having a favor returned
  • Wanting to help make someone’s life better
  • Making the world a nicer place

Take some time to talk about the kind deeds that your family does during the day and week. If we could spend a few minutes a day talking about kindness, God’s Way - “The Road to Kindness” will become clearer! "In the end, only kindness matters"

This week, we had several Acts of Kindness to share:

" My neighbor came to me with his bike asking if I had a wrench to remove a broken pedal. I was able to remove the pedals and install a good replacement that I found under my workbench."
~ Unknown

" I am studying abroad in Beijing, China and yesterday I met someone who is learning English.
I offered to help them study this week for their English test for free. Tonight was the first time we studied together and I was able to teach her a lot of new words and phrases in English. I hope she was happy with my help and that we become friends! I think it is very important to help these Chinese students so they can learn and understand more about America!" ~ Morgan

" I have a bad habit of getting in the car and wanting to get there. In a hurry. I'm sorry to say that my driving etiquette was not always the kindest. In the past year, I have really tried to be more aware when I am in the car, slowing down, taking my time, and if somebody else is in a hurry, letting them be in a hurry. Letting people cut in front of me, when normally I wouldn't have done that. So while this is not a kindness for a specific person, it is a kindness for people in general. Especially those on the road." ~ Unknown
Please share your act of kindness by emailing them to: kindness@stjoanhershey.org
