I'm not sure why I was surprised by my husband's recent thoughtfulness of me ... after all, I married him because of his sensitive and loving nature ... but recently he caught me off guard by surprising me on my birthday.  It's not so much the surprise cakes or the surprise guests that came to celebrate with me, it's the fact that HE thought of it, HE planned it, HE spent the energy on me when I was actually feeling a bit "let down" on my birthday due to not hearing from important people in my life and honestly thinking that even my husband didn't bother with anything more than taking me to dinner and a movie the night before.   It's funny how perspectives change when you become aware that the person you love more than any other HAS been thinking of doing something especially for you for weeks.  Like I said before, I already know of his sensitivity and loving heart, so I shouldn't have been all that blindsided by his efforts, but I honestly was and fell in love with him all over again.

This is an awesome blog site. We (I)go thru many days of hearing such negativity that I often get a feeling of heaviness throughout my body. Recently a co-worker came up to me & told me how thoughtful I had been to her & her department several YEARS ago. I always went out of my way to let them know of important events on their accounts. I had no idea what I did had affected so many people. I walked around on clouds for several days. My manager at the time said I was wasting my time & efforts. We should all take a few moments, daily, & say or do something positive. God Bless all who read this& God Bless you Nancy for creating this site.

Thanks so much for adding your own comment ("blog"), Linda!! I'm hopeful that more people will jump in and share the random kindnesses they see in other people on a daily basis. There's so much goodness and kindness in our lives, that if we spent more time on acknowledging it and recognizing it, there would be far less time to spend on negativity and hurtfulness - and far less opportunity for evil to do its work. I definitely felt God-inspired to create this forum - I believe that anything we can use to reflect Him to others SHOULD be used.
