"Children are like flowers, let them bloom by giving them your warm smiles, your gentle words and your air of confidence. You'll be amazed at your garden."I know I have said it in past posts, but an act of kindness is so powerful for both parties involved. There are so many opportunities in the day to do kind deeds. It may mean so little at the time of giving, but mean the world to the one it is directed at.
Have you ever noticed how throughout the day children are constantly doing acts of kindness. It is in their nature. Today Little Chick kept picking dandelions for me when we were outside. She would come to me carrying a radiant smile and say, "Mommy, this flower is for you." I made a huge deal over my beautiful gift, which excited her and encouraged her to pick more.
As I was hobbling around the house I bumped my sprained foot and made a disgruntled noise. Little Chick came running over saying, "You OK Mommy? I love you." She then grabbed my hand and guided me to the couch to sit. What better medicine could there be?
It sure does not take much for everyone to be kind throughout the day. But just like focusing on cherishing the moments, we also need to take a conscientious approach to doing good deeds for others. Just watch children and we can all learn something. It doesn't have to cost a thing - a simple smile is all it takes!
Very sweet! :) A good deed does go a long way!

So true!! Of all the habits I'd like them to lose, I pray my daughters never grow out of being kind. We would do well to take a few pointers from them!
