Kindness Through Words

Words are powerful, weather spoken or written.  Words to brighten someone's day, to break someone's heart, to annoy, to anger, to cause that beautiful thing we call laughter.  You must watch how you use them, though.  You must know your audience, you must know weather you are speaking or writing, you must know what your intentions are.  My intentions are to bring people up, to make people aware, and to share my knowledge.  I use my power for good!
       All school year I have been taught how to negotiate in the real world and how to be a likable person.  I have been encouraged to brighten someone day through a random act of kindness.  I've been thinking, "I am a bright and kind person.  What do I need to do differently?"   I have always thought that a random act of kindness needed to be a physical task that you complete in order to help a person.  I have just realized that while helping or surprising someone with a physical is kind, you can also make a persons day by emailing a thoughtful message saying "you're the best".
       It means the world to people to know that they are noticed for the good things that they do.  It means the world to be understood.  Words can do all this!

Luke 6:35English Standard Version (ESV)

35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

Ephesians 4:32New Living Translation (NLT)

32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:29English Standard Version (ESV)

29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
