Dear LittleDude,
Every once in awhile, I like to do something nice for someone else for no reason. Often, as it did one day last week during one of our daily trips through the McDonald's drive-through for after school ice cream, that involves paying for someone else's order. Today, someone who witnessed that act last week had the opportunity to tell me that the gesture continued to be passed on through over a dozen cars until no one was left in line.
Sometimes, we're tempted to put off small acts of kindness because we feel they are unappreciated or unnoticed. However, remember that even the smallest acts can make a huge difference whether we see it or not, and you will always be a better person for opening your heart and giving kindness than for closing it and keeping to yourself.
I love you.
Love, Mommy
