TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST Thank you, God for this day. Good things have happened to me and I believe it won’t be any different today. I look forward to this day with my fingers crossed. Amidst the pain, I learned to be strong. Amidst happiness, I learned to appreciate every good thing while I have it for it can be taken away from me any moment. During tough times, you gave me the wisdom to wish for strength and not to wish for such things to never happen to me. When good things happen, we say thank you because those things give us joy. When bad things happen, we say, why me? Because we are in pain and we hate it. But how else, can God prepare you for a great future without making you strong? How else, would you become strong without endurance of such times? How else would God use you to strengthen the weak? How else would you give testimonies if everything has been smooth from the beginning? Tough times make us strong, that’s a positive. Good times give us joy, that’s a positive too. Regardless of what happens, it was meant to be that way. Nothing happens by accident. It’s either a reward or a lesson. Both are necessary.

The benefits of your humanity might not always be visible, but they will certainly have an effect. Over the past decade, I have spent considerable effort to focus on the needs of others. While I am far from perfect in doing this, it has been incredibly fulfilling for me and, hopefully, for others. Perhaps the easiest way to do this, I have found, is by ordering food in the drive thru. It is normally a very quick process and is rushed. Every time we go through the drive thru, we make it a point to ask the employee how their day is going and wait for an answer. Most of the time, they are a little surprised and cautious, but are usually grateful to stop and think about how they are doing. Most times, we have a pleasant exchange and go along our days. Earlier this week, it went a little different. Specifically, the employee indicated that they weren't having a great day. we spoke for a minute and wished her a better day. To my surprise, the employee gave us a sizeable discount on our large bill. When asked why, she indicated the discount was because we were kind and made her day brighter. I bring this up for a few reasons. First, your kindness is free, but can have a tremendous effect on others. Second, don't be surprised when people return your kindness. It happens more often than you would think. Lastly, it is sad how very few people take 10 seconds and ask people how they are doing, with the intent to listen to them. Be the reason somebody else smiles today.

Humanity costs nothing but just a small effort. Kindness is free! Sprinkle it everywhere. Have you ever stopped to consider the profound impact of a simple act of kindness? It's like tossing a pebble into a still pond – the ripples expand infinitely, touching countless lives. The statement and the video encapsulate the essence of this powerful truth. 1. Small Acts, Big Impact: Often, we underestimate the power of small gestures. A warm smile, a helping hand, or a listening ear can brighten someone's day and create a lasting impression. Remember that time you held the door open for a stranger? Their grateful smile was a testament to the ripple effect of kindness. 2. Kindness is Contagious: When we spread kindness, we inspire others to do the same. It's like a chain reaction of positivity that can transform communities. Think of the last time you witnessed someone perform a random act of kindness. Didn't it make you feel good and inspired to pay it forward? 3. Humanity is a Choice: Being human is not merely about existence; it's about how we treat others. Every day, we have the opportunity to choose kindness or indifference. Opting for humanity is a conscious decision that reflects our character. Let's recall the countless acts of heroism and compassion displayed during natural disasters. These individuals chose humanity, proving that it's a choice within our reach. In conclusion, the simple act of being human and practicing kindness is a gift that keeps on giving. It requires minimal effort but yields immeasurable rewards. Let's make it a conscious choice to sprinkle kindness everywhere we go. Together, we can create a world where compassion and empathy flourish. Remember, even the smallest act of kindness can ignite a flame of hope in someone's heart.

If you're eventually seeing this post, I would like you to reflect on these questions with honest answers. 1. How would you feel seeing everyone helping out, if you happen to be the person whose items spilled accidentally in this video? 2. What on earth has hindered you from giving the same support to others?

Can’t stop thinking about this quote: 1 billion prayers would be answered if people could trade places with you and me right now… sight unseen. “There are billions of people around the world right now praying for what would be considered our worst days.” - Sam Harris Let’s not forget the privilege we have, even in our toughest moments. Gratitude is a skill. Kindness is a skill. Humility is a skill. ••• Here are 3 steps to embrace these skills: 1. Reflect 1 time on purpose per day: - Take a few moments each day to reflect on what you are grateful for, even the small things. Even the tough times. (Enjoying the Apple Journal app 📝) 2. Acknowledge Others: - Recognize and appreciate the efforts and presence of those around you, fostering a sense of community and support. (Spend an extra moment savoring the world and people around you) 3. Give Back: - Find ways to support those less fortunate, whether through time, resources, or kindness. (Everyone can give something) Embrace gratitude and find strength in the challenges, knowing that what we face today is a dream for many. Thank you for sharing this with us from NYC Jan Savarick 🙏

Love and give it all without reserve. Just as the widow gave her mite wholeheartedly, even when she had little, let’s do same and embody that same selflessness in our own lives. Let’s: a)    Love fiercely - with a smile, a kind word, a listening ear. b)    Give generously - not just from your excess, but from your heart with no expectation of return. Here’s how to do so: a)      Start by showing up for yourself, your loved ones, and even strangers. b)     Practice gratitude by focusing on what you have rather than what you lack. c)      Give your time which is one of the most precious gifts you can offer. Be willing to sit with someone in their joy or sorrow. Note, it’s not about the size of the gift but the heart behind it. When we give without reserve, we invite more love and blessings into our lives and those around us. So what small, heartfelt act of kindness can you do today? Share in the comments. This Sunday, let’s commit to loving fiercely and giving generously. You never know how your small act of kindness can change someone’s life for the better.
