Kindness

Let the loveliness of our Lord, our God,
rest on us, confirming the work that we do.
Oh, yes, affirm the work that we do.
Psalm 90:16-17 Message

As I look back over the years, there are special memories that bring me joy. They are not major events... Just simple things like sitting on the screened porch with my sister during a summer rain, my child's look of wonder when he saw his first snowfall, decorating for holidays with my granddaughter, or getting a card in the mail from an old friend.

I believe God wants me to live as if one of those special times is going to be created today. Maybe my simple act of kindness might become a special memory for someone else.

Yes indeed! I, also, find that the simple pleasures of life are so much deserving of thanks! Life is not made up of the big fabulous moments, anyway!

Yes, those simple moments can mean a lot, whether we receive or give the kindness it can give a happy glow to our day.

That looks like Kaedyn doing crafts and making a gingerbread man out of paper. What a darling picture. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Karen. I'm thankful for blog friends like you. : )
