So kindness is really in the small things and in the small ways we show God to others. Today when hubby and I went to get our blood work done the receptionist was in a bad mood….
She was overwhelmed with the computers being slow, fax down, and patients coming in. I made it my goal to show her kindness and make her smile. SoΒ I was as polite as I could be, patient, and complemented her outfit and efficiency despite the issues she was facing. By the time we left she was busier than ever, but smiling π It felt good to make her feel better and not need anything in return. I like to do things and not get or need anything in return outside of the knowledge I showed God’s love to someone π Happy Monday π
That is wonderful. God will certainly bless you!! Have a wonderful day!
I was just happy to bless someone else π You have a blessed day too π
I like it, and have done the same myself many times. Too often people are wiling to abuse and complain without knowing the whole story, or bothering to think that as humans, that person may just be having a bad day, and even attempting to be nice. I’ve been thanked for this aswell. Having a laugh with the person, as sometimes things are out of our control, and that in itself makes us mad. Too often also, we want something back, some reward, instead of simply being nice. Hat lady will remember you for helping her feel better. π
I hope she does and passes it on π
You have found the secret to a happy life. I need to post this on my hand.
I am glad it helped… I try to remeber it when I am in a bad mood too π
You’re my favorite kind of person…someone who thinks of others before themselves!! Jesus, Others, You = JOY Thanks for spreading some around…the world needs it!!
That is so wonderful for you to say π I try to live JOY every day I am happy to share it π
What we receive we should freely give! Thanks for being obedient to God’s voice, when sometimes in this world, it’s easier to just give in to all the negativity!!
He gives us JOY…we should overflow with JOY! Amen!!
So true π
Nice post! It’s not always easy to pull someone up from a bad mood but you did it well.
Thank you.. I try π
