Recently I came down with a nasty cold. I had body ache, sore throat, stuffy nose, the whole mess. I was pretty miserable for a few days. My wife Sharon went over to our daughter’s house to babysit grandkids. When she came home, she handed me four pages of folded paper.
Each of our grands had made me a get well card. They drew pictures of themselves with me (mostly stick figures) and did their best to print “I love you grampa” underneath. Immediately, my mood brightened and, somehow, I felt much better. Oh, I was still sick, but I was no longer depressed and grumpy. Their little homemade cards made my day.
There is so much power in little acts of kindness. Try one today.
