From the beginning of the school year calendar to the end of the session, I do the school runs for my kids. It’s an activity I have come to imbibe and am now used to. Occasionally, I offer lifts to school children and their parents who are going in the same direction as I am.
Looking into my rearview mirror, I see gratitude, peace, and rest written on their faces—even if not voiced. I have saved them from the scouring sun or the daring rain.
God mandates that we should not get tired of doing good, so we should keep showing kindness to people around us—an attribute of Christ’s life.
Many may feel disappointed and hurt by the same people they help, but our consolation is that we will reap the proper reward for every act of kindness we have done. We can show kindness to different people in various ways.
Reflect on situations and circumstances that have kept you from showing little acts of kindness to others. Christ wants us to be Christlike. Show an act of kindness to someone today.
