ACTS OF KINDNESS


“AOK”

By Diane Faison-Mckinzie / 2023

Have you ever seen someone at the checkout counter that needed that extra penny to pay their bill? Did you offer to give that person that penny? If you did, that was an AOK.

In a moment of sadness, a person is in tears beside you, did you offer that person a handkerchief or a tissue? If you did, that was an AOK.

It’s raining, and you see someone that is trying to get to their car but doesn’t have an umbrella, and you do. Do you offer the protection of your umbrella to walk with that person to their car, so they won’t get wet? If you did, that was an AOK.

Galatians 6:9

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

 
Is there a person in your neighborhood or family who is having difficulty with transportation to get to needed appointments? If you can offer transportation for that person, that is an AOK.

Handing just a dollar to that person on the street that is asking for help, is an act that may help that person eat for the day. That is an AOK.

AOK stands for “acts of Kindness” Acts of kindness don’t have to be large, they can be as small as giving away a smile to a person, and that small jester won’t cost you anything.

See what ACTS OF KINDNESS you can do today, and experience the joy of showing love to your fellow man.
