A Random Act of Kindness

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

On Thursday a homeless man came to the church requesting prayer. He immigrated to the U.S. from Seoul Korea in 1979. He shared with me that he has learning disabilities that keep him from keeping a job. After praying for him I asked Brian Gee to make up a food bag for him from our church pantry. He was also asking for some financial help.

As he walked away, he was very grateful for the small act of kindness of praying for him and giving him food.

Thoughtfulness comes in many forms, and is virtually always welcomed by its recipients. Thoughtfulness is a habit—a way of life that is well worth cultivating and practicing. A thoughtful person is quick to pay a well-deserved compliment, send a prompt note of appreciation or to do good to others.

Thoughtful people create opportunities to make life brighter, smoother, and more enjoyable for those around them. Our thoughtful attitudes and generous deeds can make many people happy including ourselves.

Being thoughtful is being kind, it is being loving, it is being "as Jesus" to people.
