Kind Words Make a Difference
When we think of giving, we often think of physical or tangible objects exchanged from one individual to another. While this is a valuable form of giving, it is not the only form. Today, we want to take a moment to meditate on the importance of giving kind words.
You never know what kind of day someone is going through. Giving a compliment to your teacher, coworker, friend, sibling, or even a stranger may be the simple act that brings joy to their day. Whether you compliment someone’s attire, tell a person why you appreciate them, or express that they are doing good work, kind words truly do make a difference.
