Your Question:

Can a small act of kindness change the course of a life?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband, I've seen firsthand the impact of small acts of kindness on people's lives. My wife Susan, for example, has a gift for showing kindness to those around her, whether it's a neighbor in need or a friend going through a tough time. Her kindness is not just a surface-level gesture, but a genuine expression of her love and compassion for others.

I believe that small acts of kindness can indeed change the course of a life. When we show kindness to someone, we're not just doing them a favor, we're also reflecting God's love and character to them. As the Bible says, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16). When we live out kindness and compassion, we're not just changing the lives of those around us, but also pointing them to the goodness and love of God.

As a father, I've tried to model this kind of kindness to my children, Joshua and Rebecca. I've seen how a small act of kindness from me can make a big difference in their day, and how it can teach them valuable lessons about empathy, compassion, and love. Whether it's helping a friend in need or simply being present for someone who's going through a tough time, I believe that small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on the people around us, and can even change the course of their lives.
