Learning with the Purpose of Sharing

It is wonderful what happens

when we decide to live with

the purpose of sharing and

helping others in need

even if we look for one

person a day who

needs a kind word

and write them a note

of encouragement

the blessings are

beyond measure

In the pic- Cara loves my friend and adopted family member, Donna, and she painted this picture to make Donna smile! It is the small things that show love!

The Gift of Flowers

There once was a garden where small flowers lived
They were happy and pretty
They wanted to give
They wondered aloud how their gifts were best used
They knew with their beauty they couldn't lose
They sat and watched as butterflies flew
and lighted on petals of orange and blue
the flowers were happy
but had more to give
they knew they were there to help others to live

Kindness

Have you ever driven through a drive thru resturant to look inside the window, see the stress, and be glad you didn't work there? I have many times. Now, I try to make eye contact with the stressed person in the window and give them a big SMILE. It is amazing to watch their expression change and for a moment, they give a nice smile back. That is the power of kindness. It is contagious.

Everyone needs to be lifted up. Everyone needs to feel important. Lets take the time to give people a HUGE SMILE today!!! They will return it and maybe for a second their day will get better, I know mine will!
