Today wraps up Random Acts of Kindness Week. But don’t worry! Random Acts of Kindness Day is coming in November. Don’t wait for a good reason to be kind, though. Live kindly today!

Is there ever a time where you should say no to someone’s act of kindness? Yes, unfortunately. Whenever there are strings attached, you know it’s no good. But is anyone really kind without getting something in return?
If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.– Chinese Proverb
[Tweet “When we love, kindness becomes primary rather than reactionary. #HNRTB”]
We are kind because Jesus is kind first.
The Challenge
Do one kind thing for someone who you don’t like, who isn’t kind to you, or who you haven’t done something kind for in a long time. Don’t accept anything in return.
