Have you ever been involved in a random act of kindness? Maybe somebody paid for your coffee in the drive-thru, or maybe you were the one that paid it forward for somebody else. These random acts of kindness may only be small gestures, but they can be highlights of our day. The great thing about random acts of kindness is that it makes generosity available to everybody. We don’t have to be multi-millionaires to be philanthropists and make a difference in the world. Philanthropy is accessible to everyone! All of us have the potential to make an impact in the world through random acts of kindness.
Sometimes our random acts of kindness can be spontaneous. Maybe in the moment we feel a nudge to give an outrageous tip or to help our neighbor when we see them outside working in their yard. When we obey these nudges, amazing things can happen. There are countless stories of God providing exactly what people need through random act of kindness. Maybe one of these stories belongs to you! Maybe your next random act of kindness will write that story for someone else!
Other times our random acts of kindness can be intentional. We all know someone who could use some encouragement. We probably don’t have to think hard to identify a person in our life who is sad, lonely, hurting, struggling. Blessing them with a random act of kindness – an invitation to dinner or a hand written note – may have a greater impact than we ever realize. When we couple our random acts of kindness with intentionality our simple gestures can have an exponentially greater impact.
Whether spontaneous or intentional, performing random acts of kindness adds excitement to our day and the ones we touch. A trip to the grocery store can turn into a mission to bless another shopper. A walk through the city may lead to a life changing conversation shared with an individual living on the streets. We don’t know what kind of ripple effect our random acts of kindness may create, which makes doing these acts so fun! We invite you to experience this for yourself. Identify some ways you can bless others with your kindness and generosity today. Be spontaneous or be intentional. Either way, embrace your potential to make a difference and come join the fun!
