The Cost of Kindness

Many of us "do" acts of kindness all the time. We open the door for strangers, we help out a friend when he/she calls and needs our help. We come to the rescue when our wife has a flat tire or our neighbor's car battery dies. Most of us are not going to turn down a friend or a neighbor or even a stranger, if what they ask won't interrupt our life's to much, or if we have the skills needed to help. However, how many of us would be willing to give up say our vacation to help a person prepare for an interview for a job. How about our car for a week, to a family that had their engine die on them and won't have a car until it's fixed. How about a bedroom, for a teenager that needs some time away from an abusive parent. How about everything, adopt a child and spend the next 18 years giving up your pleasures and conveniences to help out a person that needed you and you could help? Most of us will do acts of Kindness if the "cost" isn't to high, but how many of us, are willing to do acts of Kindness and "Make the Change" in our part of the world, if the cost is "very" high, or may cost us years of effort and inconvenience? I have made a commitment to do what it takes to "Make the Change", to affect my world in a positive and impactful way. Sometimes, the cost is little, but sometimes, the cost is something that I'm still paying for today!!! How about you, are you willing to "Make the Change", no matter the cost, or only if the cost is minor and the inconvenience to your daily routine light? Sometimes doing right costs more then not doing anything, but, the outcome from that act, can change a heart, a life, a family, a neighboorhood, a community, a state, a country, a world!!! The thing is, none of us knows which act will make the biggest impact, that is why, every act of Kindness, every choice we make to change our world, could be the one that changes everything!!! Have a great week, see you around as I "Make the Change"!!!

Make the Change,
Scott
