Weekend Kindness
Reaching Others Through Kindness

Sometimes it’s not the big things that say “I love you” the most, but the ordinary things, the small things.

Take, for instance, lunch time.  At my home I’m blessed to be able to come home for lunch every day. My wife blesses me in that she has lunch ready for when I get home, and we’re able to talk about what’s going on in my day. She also tries to have dinner ready around the time I get home.

Yesterday, I was reminded of how much she loved me by what was in my glass for lunch. Usually we have few choices of what to drink at my house– milk, water, juice, and occasionally Kool-Aid. The other day, while we were out grocery shopping I grabbed some Dr. Pepper to take to work (am I the only one that needs a mid-afternoon jolt of caffeine?), but I haven’t taken it to work yet, and today, when I came home for lunch, what was there but a glass of Dr. Pepper instead of milk.

You see, it’s not always the big things in the life that communicate your love, but the little things that you do that puts them first, that shows them that you’re thinking of them over yourself. It’s these things that can make a difference.
