“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found that it is the small everyday tasks of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”
(JRR Tolkien)
There was a moving story moving across the internet years ago. A high school girl was walking home behind a fellow classmate. He was not popular at all and in fact had no real friends. At one point in the homeward journey he dropped his books on the sidewalk and she stopped to help. As she helped, she showed interest in him and spoke some brief words of encouragement. The young man confided in her that she was the first person to show any compassion to him, and that in fact he had been intending to commit suicide that evening when he got home from school. But he said, her one act of kindness had given him renewed hope.
Go Light Your World today. And let’s pay attention to those around us. There is more at stake than is apparent to the eye!
A timely reminder….what I do ( and what I don’t do) has far reaching effects. Love you!!
