#bethelight – Day 335

There are somethings that are hard to hear.  I am wondering if it an act of kindness to quietly listen and take them in.  Then, I also wonder about the phrase, "the wicked take the truth to be hard."  Perhaps the real act of kindness is to take the things that are hard to hear… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 335

The last couple of days I have done a ton of listening... mostly to stressed out teens.  I am realizing that I am often needed to be a "mom" at school to many kids who don't get to see their mom or have mom with so many issues they can't help their kids.  However, my… Continue reading #bethelight 334 and 335

#bethelight – Day 333

This has been an interesting year.  I am nearly finished reporting on my efforts to spread kindness through out the world.  As I sat through General Conference yesterday, I was struck with the thought that God had impressed upon my heart and my mind to work on this kindness campaign right when he was instructing… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 333

#bethelight – Day 330 and 331

Yesterday and today were all about serving others.  I am learning that serving counts best when you have a good attitude and serve out of love.  That is real kindness.  I had better work on that more.

#bethelight – Day 328 and 329

Yesterday I served others... even though I was tired.  Today I will look for more people to serve. Everyday I volunteer at my local high school.  Why do I volunteer?  Because I appreciate the hardworking teachers who I work with.  There is too much to do for just one person. Today is World Teacher Day.… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 328 and 329

#bethelight – Day 326 and 327

Still working on finding small acts of kindness I can do each day to make the world a brighter place.  I discovered that today, October 3 is World Smile Day.  That is something I can do all day no matter how busy I am.  Just think of all the people I meet each day!  A… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 326 and 327

#bethelight – Day 325

I was thinking about this on my way home today.  It is an act of kindness to turn off your car if you are going to idle for more than a minute... unless you are at a stop light.  It will help save money, lessens the pollutants in the air, and improves the fuel economy… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 325

#bethelight – Day 320, 321, 322, and 324

The past few days I have worked at being nice.  The trouble is, nothing I've done is really notable.  I serve people at the school.  I serve people in my family.  I serve people at church.  Yet... I've gotten into a routine and have not succeeded in breaking free of my regular day stuff.  I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 320, 321, 322, and 324

#bethelight – Day 319

Today I pulled up to the school and someone was parked in my parking space.  It wouldn't be such a big deal, except the school assigned parking spaces to everyone.  If I went ahead and parked in someone else's spot, then they would need to find somewhere to park.  So... I parked by the shop. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 319

#bethelight – Day 316, 317, and 318

Boy!  The days do get away from me.  I don't want you to think I have abandoned my kindness campaign.  I have not.  Each day I look for someone to help, to be a listening ear, to give a hug, to do a small and simple thing that can make someone else's life better.  That… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 316, 317, and 318
