The flipping yourself off in the mirror cracked me up though- I have never thought of doing that but now that you mention it, I feel like that just about every time I try something on! We aren't perfect but God can help us be better :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374076312205478417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-44664798286212397042010-04-12T00:12:19.666-04:002010-04-12T00:12:19.666-04:00I came over from the UBP 2010..but when I read thi...I came over from the UBP 2010..but when I read this post, I had to respond. So often, we don't see the kindness that we do. I had one of my teens in our youth ministry come up to me today stating that he is not kind. I have seen him on numerous occasion run after a homeless person to give him something to eat! Anyway, 19 months ago, a dear friend of ours lost their son, almost 13. They have started a "kindness" ministry. It rewards children for random acts of kindness.

It makes me think of the verse in the Bible that talks about not letting your left hand know what the right hand is doing. I don't like to share them. I try to be kind to everyone I meet, smile at people, help a harried mom put her groceries in the car, reach something for an older person who can't reach in the grocery store, etc, but then there are those times when I LOSE it! I'm HORRID to my kids, palin rude to the driver who cuts me off, and snappy at Joe. <br /><br />By the way...LOVE the "flip myslef off in the mirror when I try on clothes" one!!!! HAHAHAHAHA! I laugh because I do something similar!Mandy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100044619742931968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-40126419096844436792010-04-08T22:03:47.563-04:002010-04-08T22:03:47.563-04:00when i think of kindness i think of "it's...when i think of kindness i think of "it's better to give than to receive." i often feel like a big fat kindness failure.carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601211338190358077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-28064339713264071822010-04-08T21:12:09.224-04:002010-04-08T21:12:09.224-04:00Kindness begins with oneself, I think.

If you handle yourself and the situation with grace, you have been kind to yourself and to others around you.<br /><br />And really, isn't it time we were a little kinder to ourselves? Because then, it would extend to others as well...<br /><br />Great idea for a post...love to think about stuff like this!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869747946511793954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-57128031024847548962010-04-08T17:47:40.005-04:002010-04-08T17:47:40.005-04:00You know, Jessica, I think it's only the peopl...You know, Jessica, I think it's only the people who are truly kind who care enough to think about what it means...<br /><br />Does that qualify for my kindness of the day???<br /><br />Seriously, it's something I have to work on, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-26434831835995759612010-04-08T17:22:42.763-04:002010-04-08T17:22:42.763-04:00i think you are very kind. your supportive blog co...i think you are very kind. your supportive blog comments always brighten my day. little stuff like that makes all the difference in the world!<br />but yes i too yell at geriatric drivers, become snippy when i get home and the bf has not done his 5 days worth of dishes piled up in the sink & can be generally ornery sometimes.<br />work. in. progress. ugh :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994626754394314195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649355887122226541.post-16292862589781593052010-04-08T16:29:29.769-04:002010-04-08T16:29:29.769-04:00This has happened to me before to.
