We all know the acronym RAK, Random acts of Kindness.
Today I read about a village called Congresbury near Bristol, where residents decided to perform 800 random acts of kindness in a year, to celebrate the 800th anniversary of their church.
The local people recorded their deeds anonymously and popped the cards in the church box.
Becci North, one of the organisers.
Someone paid a vets bill for a neighbour, someone else gave clothes to a homeless person, and the young of the village painted the public benches.
Simple things, carrying a neighbour's shopping, washing a car for a disabled person, all these deeds done with a spirit of love, realising how a small act can change a day for another person.
What a lovely idea!
But.......don't you feel that we need to raise awareness of kindness at all times, not only to celebrate something?
Maybe 2017 needs to be a year when everyone takes kindness a bit further, and seeks ways to spread kindness, regardless of reasons.
