5/11/2019 3 Comments A random act of kindness.Mother's day was quickly approaching and many of us were focusing on this day for various reasons. I was thankful for another year to celebrate with my mother. I saw a familiar face coming towards me during school dismissal time. Today, I was surprised by her abrupt stop in front of me. Taking her time, she carefully tugged out and handed me a beautiful red rose. Wow! what a beautiful act of selfless giving! I wasn't the only individual that was blessed with this gift. I watched her as she made her way deliberately around the room seeking out individuals to surprise with this beautiful token. Each day our Creator provides us with a new day of life. That day, of course, is different for each individual. We are each experiencing extremely different qualities of life and challenges. Every day, however, our creator visits us with a token, the gift of being ....a living, breathing spirit. We are invited to live in connection with our Creator, God and to share His Spirit of Love with others. Often, a random act of kindness, in Love, is all it takes to display and convey the Love of Christ that is available to us all. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." 1 Corinthians 13 v 4. kind·ness/ˈkīn(d)nəs/noun the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. synonyms: kindliness, kind-heartedness, warm-heartedness, tender-heartedness, goodwill, ... antonyms: unkindness, meanness

I remember my mom back then. I left her because I am so tired of the life we have. She always have a problem with money and it seems that she is not contented. I tried leaving her to see what she has already. I tried to leave her in order for her to see the true essence of life. I really do not know on what to do this incoming mother’s day. I hope that everything will feels home again even once more.
