" Kindness can transform someone's dark moment with a blaze of light. You'll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today." - Amy Leigh Mercier

As you go about your business running errands today and having an encounter with others, consider asking yourself a few questions of significance. What kind of a kindness ambassador am I? As a friend, parent or teacher, do I look beyond the behavior of a child and ask, "What kindness can I give that speaks to this child... You matter! "

Do I spread seeds of kindness that may sprout seeds of love and light into God's Kingdom? Or are the judgmental looks and sharp words discounting the child's worth and ultimately dimming the heart's light? Do I look at the check-out clerk at the grocery store and wonder what struggles she may be facing, what are the mountains in her past, what challenges await her at home? What kind of hope may she need for today?

What if the only kindness for her day was what kindness I had to offer? What would that look like?
Perhaps you are the one in need of being lifted up with the blazing light of kindness. Being that light for another miraculously creates beams of kindness for all.
