Expressions Of Kindness

Lately, the cars in front of me at the Starbucks drive through that I go to have been treating me to my coffee and pastry.  The last one was just recently, and I noticed that the license plate was from Georgia.  Thanks, Georgia!  I'd love to visit you someday.

The other day while driving through, the lady said to me, "you want your usual, café Americano and  a pumpkin loaf?"  I said, "Yes," and thought to myself, how nice of her to remember.

I received a surprise in the mail from my blog friend, Susan, on Tuesday.  It was a note card with a red rose on the cover and a few humorous and special words written from her to me.

An old woman sat in the pew at church right next to me.  She said that another lady had asked for her seat because she had a stroller and needed an end seat.  We talked for a bit and told me she'd say a prayer for me.

These expressions of kindness remind me of graceful people who shine their light in a sometimes troubling world.  They bring us a few smiles and a little laughter to brighten our days.

The planet does not need more

successful people.

The planet desperately needs

more peacemakers,

healers,

restorers,

story tellers,

and lovers of all kinds.

Maybe we can express kindness
towards someone today.
