Weekend Kindness
Reaching Others Through Kindness

I earned a new title over the weekend: the candy fairy! Yeah, I was found out!

When my daughters failed to find their candy where I’d strategically placed it (beneath their pillows) on Sunday morning, I knew I had to be a bit more obvious! Still, after a long morning at church, and a visit to the grandparents, the cannisters of mini M&M’s weren’t discovered till about bedtime!

I’d written in wacky lettering: “May your words to each other always be as sweet as these treats!” My hope was that my act of “weekend kindness” would be a gift that keeps on giving! Kindness in our family relationships is the best kind, after all!

Two days later, the girls have finished divvying them up between their toddler sister and yes, me. (Aren’t they sweet to share?) Best of all, my oldest took the labeling to heart. I caught her apologizing to her younger sister this morning for being unkind while they cleaned up their room together.

To whom it may concern: I really did try to remain anonymous, but the two little stinkers badgered me into admitting my part in the matter.

Ah, well, it earned me several hugs and kisses more than my daily allotment!

Thanks for the idea, we all had fun with it!
