Random Acts of Kindness

Exhibit A: Sleep deprived Kristin in cozy new fleece.

Good morning :) Well, I'm at work. Struggling to keep my little eyelids open as I've been here since 4am. And I went to sleep at 11pm. Oops. And I think falling asleep while working in the Emergency Room is a no-no. However, we just got our new fleece jackets in...I'm obsessed! So cozy and just in time for fall weather, weeeeee.

Anyway, I was browsing through my new obsession - Pinterest - when I came across a pin of someone else's blog. And yet again I was officially inspired. Funnily enough, someone who has been a rather large part of my life in the past texted me the other day and really brightened my day. He told me about a random act of kindness done to him by a stranger. And he told me that it reminded him of me. To me, this was the greatest of compliments. I think one of the most important qualities you can have is a kind heart. I'm one of those weird people who enjoy giving gifts more than receiving them, because I like to see the joy I bring to others. I want more than anything for people to look at me and actually see Jesus' love through me. Long story short I think kindness can really take you places...

SO, as I was pinning away I came across this. For this woman's 35th birthday she took her children around town and performed 35 random acts of kindness. ON HER OWN BIRTHDAY. What an awesome person! I know I can say that I'm pretty selfish on my birthdays. This totally inspired me to be better. And I hope it makes you smile too :)
