Several years ago, I had a friend that was moving his family to a new home. With three children, two of which were twins, his family had a lot of STUFF. Anyone that has moved can sympathize with the overwhelming feeling that comes with a move. The feeling that you will never get it all done, needing something that has already been packed, forgetting to schedule utility changes, etc. Moving can be very daunting.
In the middle of this chaos which was happening in the thick Alabama summer heat, my buddy said someone did something he will never forget. Without asking, a dear sister from my friend's church pulled up with cups, ice, and a big jug of sweet tea. In the South, we love our sweet tea and this dear sister knew the movers needed a break. My friend said that small act of kindness made a huge impact on him. To some, it was just a glass of tea. But, to my friend, it was a reminder that someone really cared about his family and just wanted to do something to make their chaotic day a little better. Making and taking tea wasn't a big deal to the good sister, but it was a huge deal to my friend.
Never underestimate how a small act of kindness can impact someone else's life. It could be a call or card to a person that is sick. It could be taking someone to lunch that has been having a tough time in life. Or, it could be as simple as buying someone a cup of coffee at work that has had a bad day. It doesn't have to be a big act to be a big blessing. Look for the little things in life that you can do to make a big impact for someone else.
God Bless!
