Kindness Is Free

Give It Freely

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
"You can always give something, even if it is only kindness"

With the cost of living going up and up,

and many going to food banks every week,

most of us have little to give

'financially'.

Even to our usual charities,

we may have had to cut down,

because the electric bill has gone up,

alongside the phone bill.

However ---

we can give a smile

freely,

we can give a nod

freely,

we can give a kind word

freely.

Being kind is free,

it sometimes just requires our time,

and if we can't give 5 minutes to 'chat' to someone,

we are too busy!

When we give kindness,

it also reflects on our personalities

and always 'comes back to us'.

Do you want to be known

as a kind person?

All of us do!

And you never know

how much a kind word

can really help someone,

even a stranger.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
