A place to share ideas of small steps of kindness that we can offer others, and a place to talk about our experiences.
Small Steps of Kindness
In the novel, Stepping Into Sunlight, Penny Sullivan pulls out her little yellow notebook, and sets a goal to do a small kind act for a different person each day.
This blog is a community notebook, where we can support each other as we participate in "Penny's Project."
Please use the comments feature to tell about kind acts you've done. I know that many people feel shy about sharing good things they've done, but it can provide inspiration and ideas for others. So feel free to invent a screen name or post anonymously if you'd rather.
For the fictional character, Penny, reaching out in small and simple ways - to friends, family, neighbors, and often to total strangers - helped her in her journey of healing. I pray that each person who joins Penny's Project will be deeply blessed as they explore new ways to bless others.
“The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine,
you did for me.'"
– Matthew 25:40

Beautiful video --
Even though it isn't September, I thought I should start getting in the habit of looking for opportunities to do acts of kindness...
As I was finishing my walk tonight, I saw an elderly neighbor couple's garage open and in big need of a sweeping. (The car was gone). A broom was available, so I picked it up thinking of the Project. Their eyesight is so poor that they may not even notice when they come home (scarey thing that the Dr. approved him for driving!), but I know that it is done.
So, it isn't always important that the recipient know and acknowledge the act of kindness...though their day may be brightened more by the knowledge... but anonymous acts of service where only God and I know have their own joy.
WONDERFUL idea, Joyce!
Thanks so much for sharing it!!!
And maybe we should dedicate one week of September to SECRET good deeds...and they don't count if anyone notices them. :-)
That's always good for the soul.
Blessings!
