Random Act Of Kindness

 

It's cold outside

but warm inside

my heart
filled with happiness

and sorrow

Happy for being alive

Sad for those who aren't

Whether it be in spirit

or body

Death is a sad state of affairs

and without the light of Christ,

not the fake lights of Christmas

not one soul can survive

It's not just this time of year

but all days

we should be happy

alive

thankful

but more importantly

mindful

of those who are gone

whether in flesh

or mind

Give them a reason to

live on

remember them

fondly

or give them a smile

This is a

random act of kindness

and doesn't cost a thing

Same wavelength my friend... I just posted my little "hello" note at the top of my screen and came to see if you had anything new... and behold!

You always say so much and I am moved and inspired by this. We cannot spread what we do not know and we cannot know what we have not been told.

We struggle in the Bear household so much with the balance between the meaning and the commercialism this time of year... it's hard to strike that balance. But we remember when we lay down to die, there are three boy cubs who will be there to carry on the tradition, or forsake it.

So we give while we live... and hope the seed planted outlives the sower.

Perfect... Bear

Such a beautiful philosophy well expressed. A powerful Christmas message that should be read all year round. Fine work. Many cheers.

Jenny-

What a wonderful piece! You have a way with words, and I really like your subject matter. That is really something that the world could use - more random acts of kindness.

Thanks,
Gabe

Info.com defines random as, Having no particular pattern, purpose, organization, or structure. It would seem what you espouse is directed acts of kindness.

I love your thinking and i certainly agree.. this is a little poignant to me .. and so sensible..random acts of kindness.. they are some of the best.. being kind is so much easier than being unkind and pays off in the end .. as the Beatles sing ..' and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.. ' !
Love in giving and doing and caring .. loving.

Amen to everything you say here! You shouldn't need a date on a calendar or a holiday to be reminded to be kind to others or thankful for everything we have. We all of us blessed everyday in some way and sometimes its easy to overlook, but just the same we should try to notice those blessings and try to pass that on to others.

Great and thoughtful write :)
