Along with
your random acts of kindness, throw in a few random acts of thanksgiving too.
June’s Awakening, Day 25
One act of thanksgiving made when
things go wrong is worth a thousand when things go well.

Be on the lookout for mercies. The
more we look for them, the more of them we will see . . . Better to lose count
while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your
troubles.

All
this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more
people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 2
Corinthians 4:15 NIV
Random acts of kindness and random
acts of thanksgiving don’t just happen spontaneously. They require a mindset to
do so, an observant spirit sensitive to the needs of others, and a willingness
to break from your routine and make a positive difference in someone’s life
just when they need it most. It may seem contrary, but thanking God and
shifting your focus from the troubles of this world can go a long way to speed
the healing of hurts. Anytime we can refocus our attention toward God helps to
put everything in perspective and realize that we are not alone, nor do we have
to endure the burdens alone. Christ is there to enable us to make it through,
carrying us, sometimes, if need be, but there for us, nevertheless.
Be the instrument of God’s love,
mercy, and grace, and be a supporter and encourager, and at the same time,
empathetic and compassionate too. Help others to focus on God and all that is
still good, and let them know they’re not carrying their burdens alone.
