“I truly believe that the little things can make life so
much more beautiful!”
My two year phone contract is
almost up which means next month I will be getting a new phone! Yeah! I always
get excited to upgrade my phone and learn the new features etc! Now that I have
had a smart phone for the past couple years, I cannot imagine going back
because of all that it is able to do and that I use it for!
However, my biggest problem
with cell phones, especially smart phones, is that they make it too convenient
to communicate with people in a way that you will never hear their voice. Do
not get me wrong, texting is one of my favorite things because it is so quick,
convenient and can put an instant smile on someone’s face. Access to my email
and Facebook are also a wonderful feature on my phone since it allows me to
access my social life anywhere I go!
I want to encourage us all, though, to not get wrapped up in a culture that is communicating more and more
only through electronics. The picture below helps explain this.
*The act of kindness
this week…show kindness by calling and talking to someone who you have not
talked to in a while!!
*My experience with the act of
kindness…This week, I called a family friend that I have not spoken to in a while! It was great to catch up real quick, and she mentioned a couple times how nice it was to hear from me! I am really glad I made the call!
I have always enjoyed talking on the phone and catching up with loved
ones! I am not saying that I have this all down perfectly though. I know I
still need to work on this too! There are several people that I want to start
calling or call more often! My act of kindness blogs are just as much an
encouragement to you all as they are to me!
If you do not like to talk on
the phone, which is understandable, but please consider making a quick phone
call to your Mom/Dad/Brother/Sister/
God has blessed many of us
with a voice! Let us intentionally show kindness to someone in our life by
verbal communication!
P.s. Please comment below with
your own experience with this act of kindness! I would really enjoy hearing
about it!!
