‘The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…’  Galatians 5:22-23
 
The doorbell rang, and when I opened the door a woman held out a pretty bunch of flowers. 
“These are for you,” she said.  “I wanted to encourage you, and for you to know that you’re not alone.”
It took me a moment to realize that we had both been at a meeting the previous evening.  Something had been said about an issue I was involved with, which left me feeling despondent and that I had somehow failed.  This person, who I didn’t know very well, had noticed and wanted to cheer me up.  It was a small act of kindness – not spectacular, the problem had not gone away – but it changed the way I felt and put things in perspective. 
What small act of kindness could we offer to make a difference to someone’s day?
 
‘The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention’  Oscar Wilde
