Your Question:
Can a small act of kindness change the course of our daily routines when we're feeling tired?
Answer:
You know, as a pastor, I've seen firsthand how a small act of kindness can change the course of someone's day, even when they're feeling tired. It's amazing how a simple gesture can bring new strength and vigor to someone's life. Take the example of Jesus coming soon, as mentioned in Hebrews 10:37. When we're reminded that each day is not just about our daily routines, but also about the larger spiritual realities, it can give us a new sense of purpose and motivation. When we're tired, it's easy to get caught up in excuses and laziness, as the book of Proverbs warns us. But a small act of kindness can help us break out of that cycle. For instance, putting on a friendly manner, even when we don't feel like it, can lead to real feelings of friendliness. It's like the principle of structure and routine, where setting a schedule and following through on agreements can help us overcome depression and find new joy in life. As I reflect on my own life, I think about how a small act of kindness from my son Joshua or daughter Rebecca can brighten up my day, even when I'm feeling tired. It's the same with my wife Susan - a kind word or gesture from her can give me new energy and motivation. So, yes, a small act of kindness can definitely change the course of our daily routines when we're feeling tired. It's a reminder that every day is a new opportunity to find joy and purpose, even in the midst of fatigue.
