How to be kind is a question that has plagued humanity for ages. Yet, the answer is simple: just smile and spread joy wherever you go. With each passing day, we come across numerous opportunities where we can choose between being kind or being rude. However, it’s important to remember that kindness doesn’t require any special talent or skill set; it comes straight from the heart. One of my favorite quotes is “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It reminds me that what I enjoy may also bring happiness to someone else. So why not make an effort to brighten someone’s day? Even a small act of kindness like holding the door open for another person can create ripples of positivity in their life.

Being kind isn’t always easy, especially when people are mean or ungrateful towards us. But let’s face it – nobody likes a grumpy Gus! Instead of responding with negativity, try listening and showing empathy towards those who are hurting or upset. You never know how much your kindness could mean to someone going through a tough time. Practicing how to be kind will not only benefit others but also yourself by creating meaningful connections and fostering positive relationships filled with trust and respect. Remember to pray about how you can show love and compassion towards those around you since strangers are simply friends we have not yet met. ~ Bill Greguska

Colossians 3:12  Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

How To Be Kind By Sharing An Act Of Kindness?

  1. When talking to someone, keep the other person and their situation in mind, and don’t insist on talking about yourself.
  2. If your friend is grieving a loved one, encourage them to talk to the person and listen well.
  3. Give words of blessing.  When we bless others, we release God’s grace on them.
  4. Put together a care package. A unique collection of items in a box of love and encouragement?
  5. Share neighborly kindness by baking them something or helping with a small project.
  6. Be an active, joyful person.  We can only encourage, love, and bless others with what we already have available ourselves.
  7. Fill jelly jars with flowers picked from your garden.  Drop by a nursing home with them and bless the residents there.
  8. Ask someone for information on something they love or are excellent at, and sit back and listen.
  9. Treat a co-worker or friend with something small now and then — something like a candy bar or their favorite coffee, etc.
  10. Give a sincere compliment to someone when you see the opportunity.
  11. Write down a Bible verse that meets the needs of your friend’s heart, and send it in the mail, text it, email it, or tell them on the phone.
  12. Do something nice for your pet or your friend or neighbor.
  13. Find a way to remember to pray for a friend.  One gal who doesn’t get to see her friend has a pact with that friend to listen at night for the train whistles. It’s their signal to pray for each other.
  14. When we do acts of kindness, it has a powerful ripple effect on others in the area.
  15. Try to have a playful, light-hearted spirit with everyone you contact.
