A pocketful of kindness


I had a new neighbor move in about a week ago and she is so incredibly sweet.  My heart went out to her as she shared some of the recent things she's had to face in her life.

As I was taking a walk early this morning, I felt this nudge in my heart to do something special for her; something that would encourage her and put a smile on her face. This is what I came up with and presented to her not long ago.

The biggest smile formed on her face as she expressed her gratitude and how much it blessed her.  Awww. :D

Please do lift her up in your thoughts/prayers.

    What a wonderful thing to do for a neighbor. I was the recipient of a little bit of kindness recently and it got me thinking that those little things done with love really mean so much. And then I saw your post! Thank you for spreading the kindness and love and inspiring others to do the same!

    I love this...spreading a little light and love, right? If we would only act every time we get a little nudge to do something like this. Good for you! :)
