There have been many times in my life when I was worn to the bone and didn’t even realize how much. But when someone treated me with unexpected kindness, my heart was touched deeply and hope began to bubble up in my heart, again. Breathing rest and peace for a few small minutes filled me with an ability to keep going again. One such time, on a cold and wintry night, our doorbell rang. I wasn’t expecting anyone. There stood a very pregnant woman holding a heavy box, with flowers poking out from inside.
“May I bring this to the kitchen,” she practically whispered.
In the kitchen, she began to unload the box: A fresh loaf of homemade bread, a homemade chicken pot pie, a mixed salad with pecans, feta and tomatoes, a bunch of mixed flowers and a lovely card at the bottom.
She said, “You give to people all the time. You have sick children, hosted our women’s group and so much more. The Lord put it on my heart that you might be in need of some personal kindness and encouragement, so I made all of this today for you.” I was happily stunned.
Who needs your thoughtfulness, kindness this week? How can you display it to your children? Your friend? Your husband? Choose at least 2 people you might show the kindness of God who are in need of His benevolence.
God bless you, my friends to sense the kindness of God in your life.
