Kindness

Last month I notice how rude, selfish, indiscreet and cold some of the women I work with are. I came to learn why they were that way. God showed me they were empty inside of them and bitter due to things they had gone through in the past. I saw how blessed I am to have the presence of God in my life because even though I have faced difficult and challenging situations and still do, it doesn't get me down. In fact it makes me stronger.

Due to the cold environment, I notice I was starting to display similar attitudes to them. I would say hello to them but as they ignored me or gave me a not so kind look, I said to myself “next time I won’t bother”. However, I was becoming uncomfortable with this attitude as I knew it was not me and God touched my heart to change the atmosphere by showing kindness, by making conversation with others, being pleasant and warm to all. Though it the response was not positive at the beginning, as I started to do it more and more, the atmosphere began to change. The people I was working with, started to be open, they became polite and the whole team started to work together, instead of against one another and we got things done quickly. It was so good, I had to text some pledges and friends on my break because I couldn’t believe! Everyone changed! Even the coldest hearts warmed up :-)

Even the managers who were every cold and rude towards us all, became calm and more upbeat. and the

Positive action is a silent prayer and works wonders. I saw that kindness is contagious. I learned that to be a different kind of woman, we need to do what others don’t usually do. A woman full of grace is the difference wherever she is and in whatever she is doing.
