A hand offered in silence
a smile to soothe the days
eyes light hope’s tomorrows
cast warm summer rays
you choose to accept another
to greet with friendly smile
burdens often we carry
lighter for two over miles
lean forward into fellowship
melt frost on coldest days
sun breaks the mourning
for God’s gift you can never pay
I am daily graced by the kindness of others. The gesture need not be a grand one but just in a simple act, a smile, a word kindly spoken. The difference can have a profound effect on a person’s day. Try it!
“Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.:
~Proverbs 3:3
“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.”
~Ephesians 4:32
Wonderful thoughts to begin the week and year with!

I so agree that the smallest gesture can lighten untold burdens. Plus, I find that a smile begets a smile, even from strangers.
