Your Question:
Can small acts of kindness revive a dying flame when we're feeling anxious?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact of small acts of kindness on people's lives. When we're feeling anxious, it's easy to get caught up in our own worries and struggles. But when someone shows us kindness, it can be like a breath of fresh air. It's as if the kindness of others can calm our hearts and minds, just like Father Rick's presence did for me all those years ago. I think about how my wife Susan always knows just what to say to calm me down when I'm feeling stressed. It's often something simple, like making me a cup of coffee or giving me a hug. Those small acts of kindness can be a balm to our souls, reminding us that we're not alone and that we're loved. And I've seen this play out in our church community as well, where small acts of kindness can revive a dying flame of hope and joy in someone's life. As a father, I've also seen how small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on our children. My son Joshua and daughter Rebecca often help out around the house, whether it's feeding our dog or helping with laundry. Those small acts of kindness not only help us out, but they also teach them the value of serving others and showing compassion to those around them. And when they're feeling anxious or overwhelmed, a kind word or gesture from one of us can help calm them down and remind them that they're loved and supported.
