There is a theory about developing good habits–if a person does something 21 times, consistently–the habit is established. Therefore, I pray that extending acts of kindness will be deeply embedded in our hearts since we will have extended an act of kindness 78 times by December 25, 2015.
Yesterday was a good day. Greeting workers at Kroger and seeing them smile made my day and so it was an exchange of kindness that fit the challenge. I also made a phone call to someone I had not spoken to in almost a year. We talked long enough to drain batteries on cell phones. What a wonderful way to end the evening.
Today, I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do to put a smile on at least two faces, if not more. I’m loving the deliberate search for an opportunity to show kindness and so far, it has cost me nothing, but a smile and kind words.
