Your Question:
Can a small act of kindness change the course of our daily routines when we're feeling stuck?
Answer:
As I reflect on my own life, I've come to realize that small acts of kindness can indeed change the course of our daily routines when we're feeling stuck. I recall a time when I was struggling to connect with my community, and a simple act of kindness - like showing up to a meal with them on a Thursday night - made all the difference. It wasn't about grand gestures, but rather the small, consistent actions that showed I cared. I've also noticed that when I'm feeling stuck, I often need to be reminded to be patient and full of delight in the present moment. This is especially true when I'm dealing with my family - my wife Susan and kids Joshua and Rebecca can be a handful at times! But by practicing patience and gentleness, I've found that it can be a game-changer in how I interact with them. It's not about pretending to be someone I'm not, but rather about being intentional about how I show up in relationships. As a pastor, I've seen this play out in the lives of those I serve. When people are feeling stuck, it's often because they're not willing to put in the work to develop new habits. But the truth is, small, consistent actions can add up over time. By starting small and being intentional about developing new habits, we can begin to see real change in our lives. And that's exactly what I've seen happen in my own life - and in the lives of those around me.
