Download or read book Purposeful Not Random Acts of Kindness AKA Beginning Steps for Overcoming Spoiled Brat aholism written by Garie Thomas-Bass BA EX CX and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2007-08-06 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ven though our book may not be considered politically correct, it is written with the hope that some ideas that used to be called “common sense” will again become the behavior of choice. There is one rule presented for each week of the year. The fifty-two “suggestions” (or, as we say, “Finally using the brain that your mother gave you!!”) presented within these pages are recognizable because everyone has had to experience the negative consequences that happen when someone does not remember to be neighborly in society. (For example: “Stop tossing your trash out the car window, knucklehead!!”) Our hope is that each person will use in his/her life some of these straightforward and easily applied ideas after it is understood why they are important. Truthfully, these rediscovered actions will allow us to live together in society with as little confrontational stress as possible.

This timeless parable for readers of all ages expands upon the idea that we can all become agents of goodness and beauty. Winner of the 2016 Independent Publishers Gold Medal.

Download or read book Beyond Random Acts of Kindness written by Chaplain Charlie Louvau and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-08-13 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have chosen a number of pivotal events and experiences in my life as a vehicle to shine light upon actions that provided me not a hand out, but a hand up. Some of these actions may have been insignificant or perhaps even trivial on the part of those whose actions mean so much to me. That is precisely my point. Effective care and human involvement does not necessarily need to be complicated or intentional. These times can come in the simplest of moments. These actions for me have brought rich purpose, hope and value and meaning to my life. The care I have given to others has simply been a reflection of those who have given to me. But, perhaps more marvelously, they are a glowing reflection of the God who first loves us.

Download or read book The Love Revolution written by Joyce Meyer and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joyce Meyer is not satisfied with the status quo. She believes that we each need to become a revolutionary and practice love every day. And if Joyce has her way, the revolution will spread -- person by person, house by house, town by town, until the old culture of selfishness and greed gives way to a new culture of concern for others. The book is a revolutionaries' manual, a hands-on primer for bringing the Golden Rule to life in the twenty-first century. Meyer starts out by giving some stunning statistics. Right now. . .210,000 children will die this week because of poverty; 640 million children do not have adequate shelter; every day, 3,000 children are abducted into the sex-trafficking industry; every day, 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes. She goes on to say that although crisis is global, the solution is local. We can't solve the world's problems, but that isn't a reason to remain idle. Love Revolution focuses on personal behavior on the local scale. It's not just a call to action; it is a call to being: being the person who goes out of your way to encourage someone who's out of hope; being the one who smiles at a stranger; being the one who is willing to do something for nothing. The paradox: when we do something for nothing, what we often get is something far greater.

Being kind when we don’t feel like it, or when all of our buttons are being pushed, is hard. But that’s also when it’s most needed; that’s when it can defuse anger and even violence, when it can restore civility in our personal and virtual interactions. Kindness has the power to profoundly change our relationships with other people and with ourselves. It can, in fact, change the world. In A Year of Living Kindly—using stories, observation, humor, and summaries of expert research—Donna Cameron shares her experience committing to 365 days of practicing kindness. She presents compelling research into the myriad benefits of kindness, including health, wealth, longevity, improved relationships, and personal and business success. She explores what a kind life entails, and what gets in the way of it. And she provides practical and experiential suggestions for how each of us can strengthen our kindness muscle so choosing a life of kindness becomes ever easier and more natural. An inspiring, practical guide that can help any reader make a commitment to kindness, A Year of Living Kindly shines a light on how we can create a better, safer, and more just world—and how you can be part of that transformation.

Download or read book Walk On Water written by Deborah B. McDermet and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us settle. We live average, safe, mediocre lives. But does that kind of living reflect what God has called us to? The abundant life that Jesus promised his followers is nothing less than amazing when we realize that God is working in us so that we may “be conformed to the image of his Son” (Romans 8:29). Jesus did not live an ordinary life, and nor should we! Walk on Water invites believers to rise above the norm. This daily devotional takes a fresh look at the Word of God. Be inspired by the lives of Esther, Daniel, Jonah, and others. Be challenged with Jesus’ no-nonsense conversations with the Pharisees and the disciples. Be emboldened through the honest emotions that pour from the hearts of the writers of the Psalms. In addition to daily devotionals, twelve true stories (experienced by Deb herself) are added at the end of each month to encourage and humor the soul.
