Your Question:
What's the best way to show kindness to those around us when life gets busy?
Answer:
As a pastor and a father, I've learned that showing kindness to those around us, even when life gets busy, is essential. One way to do this is by putting on a friendly manner, even when we're not feeling particularly friendly. This simple act can lead to genuine feelings of friendliness and warmth towards others. It's a reminder that our actions and attitudes can have a profound impact on those around us. Another way to show kindness is by training our children to be considerate of others. This includes teaching them to thank others for their kindness, greet salespeople with a smile, and look for opportunities to serve others. For instance, my children used to play the piano for our elderly neighbors, bringing them joy and creating special memories. These small acts of kindness not only bless others but also help our children develop a sense of empathy and compassion. In our busy lives, it's easy to overlook the needs of those around us. However, as Christians, we're called to be servants to the world around us, not retreating into a bubble of self-interest. By being mindful of the needs of others and looking for opportunities to serve, we can show kindness to those around us and reflect the love of Christ in our lives. Whether it's helping an elderly neighbor or simply being a good friend, small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on those around us.
