First come the daffodills. Not in my garden, still covered in white. In my local grocery store, wrapped in bunches of ten for a brief glimpse of spring color. I love to see the sunny faces and always buy them as soon as they’re available.
I like to pick up an extra bunch to pass on to someone. It is my way of passing on the message and hope of Spring.
Would you join me in this act of kindness? Don’t you love it when someone brings you flowers?ย
Kind deeds rest so sweetly in the heart of the giver and the receiver.
A few weeks ago, while out of town to attend Bible College, a dear woman cheered my day. Upon returning to our friend’s home after a long, full day of intensive classes, she greeted us at the door with a plate of fresh brownies.
I had forgotten to bring any chocolate snacks and the aroma of freshly baked brownies almost did me inย ๐
As you change your clocks this weekend and Spring Forward, I encourage you to pass on an act of kindness. Flowers. Chocolate. Something simple. Something sweet.
I’d love to hear about your act of kindness in a comment.
This is such a lovely idea I shared on my FB page. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hi Judy,
Thank you for passing it on – I hope others catch on to the idea. We’ve had a rough winter here in NY and people need something to cheer them up right now!

What lovely gifts your friends share.
I love your idea of giving flowers; I never thought of that. I live next door to an older couple who I think would be very blessed by that.
Thank you for setting an example for me.
In the past, God has prompted me, almost daily, to send a card to someone I knew was struggling. It filled me with great joy. Since I’ve moved, I’ve stopped doing that because I don’t know anyone.
Over the past couple months, God’s been prompting me to start again. I still don’t know many people but I hear of ones who are walking difficult roads. It doesn’t matter if I know them, it only matters that God puts them on my heart. I’ve collected a couple addresses and have cards. I’m eager to start.

Sherry,
I love your idea of sending out cards. I’ve done that before and want to do it again. It can make such a difference for people just to know someone was thinking and praying for them. You go, girl! Your own mail ministry : ) Plus it is always nice to get a friendly note along with the usual bills and sale pitches. Keep me informed of your progress.

Cynthia,
What a beautiful post, and oh, those brownies! Thank you for showing me the chocolate. ๐
Speaking of chocolate, I made extra peanut butter eggs and gave them away. I also love to go through the phone book and send a random card to let someone know God loved them enough to have a stranger send a card, and that may they have a great week!

Julie,
I knew you would appreciate the value of the brownie gift…
What a neat idea to mail out random cards to strangers! I’ll have to pass that thought along to others.
