Today
This has been a day of despair and defeat. It may not have been the worst day of my life, but it sure was a strong contender for that title.
However, I received some encouragement from an unexpected source… one of my college professors! As a passing remark in an email, he said that he had heard “very, very positive” things about me (which is a big deal, coming from a professor), and he wished me a happy holiday season.
That really brightened up my day. I thank God for those types of little things — the “random acts of kindness” — that make a HUGE difference in my life.
I want to be a perpetrator of random acts of kindness! I’m praying that God will give me opportunities to brighten up someone else’s day.

You do brighten up my day whenever I see your smiling face! Come to think of it, you brighten my day even when you aren’t smiling – just by being YOU!
