SIMPLE ACTS OF KINDNESS

Pink and red hearts......they are on display every where we go reminding us that "love is in the air". February, the month for flowers, cards and chocolate candy!! It is nice to have a day set aside to remind us to slow down and focus on the people we love but, shouldn't we be doing that every day? Life is short and our friends and family are very precious blessings. Let me say first of all, "I love you very much! You are truly God's gift to me and I thank Him always for each one of you. My life is so much richer because you have been a part of it. Happy Valentine's Day with all my love to all of you!"

While I was buying my Valentine's Day cards last week, the Lord spoke this thought to me..."Share my love in simple acts of kindness". When I got home I began to think about those words and ways that I could do just that! "Simple acts of kindness" could be many things, some so simple we might not even think to do them, but something that could mean so much to the one on the receiving end. Immediately the Lord brought ideas to my mind. Simple acts of kindness, (done in secret), reap the greatest joy of all when we expect nothing in return. My list of ideas grows every day and I can hardly wait to answer His call!! Do you have simple acts of kindness that you might need to do as well? After all, love IS in the air!!

I love you guys,
Judy

Colossians 3:12 Be kind to others and have no pride. Be gentle and willing to wait for others.

P.S. Medical update: Thank you so much for your prayers. I am praising God for the good reports on my blood work last month. My next mammogram is scheduled for Feb. 23, and your continued prayers mean so much.
