Awesome Dividend (of Kindness)

May our lives be rich with the gentle joyof many a kindness both given and received! It may not seem like much, all told;The gentle word, the cheerful smileThe hug, the prayer, plan put on holdTo walk a secret second mile The helping hand, the listening earThe cup of tea shared with a friendIt may not seem like much, my dearYet, yields an Awesome Dividend For oh, we cannot know how farRipple effects of kindness flowTherefore, no matter where we areLet’s find some small kindness to show Because big differences startNot in the limelight of successBut in the love that lifts a heartThrough countless little kindnesses It may not seem like much, all told;But love is never commonplaceThe small kind deed worth more than goldAs it puts a smile on God's face © Janet Martin Eph.4:32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
