Lighting the World With Kindness
/Each year I look forward to participating in the daily “Light the World” prompts, from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! It helps me focus on the true meaning of Christmas in the midst of the Christmas rush and day 11 fits in perfectly with our contest this month - kindness.
“Who needs your light today” Kindness is contagious! Studies show that those who see good are more likely to do good.
Read the following fats from a study by Dartmouth College to learn more:
Kindness Is Contagious
The positive effects of kindness are experienced in the brain of everyone who witnessed the act, improving their mood and making them significantly more likely to “pay it forward.” This means one good deed in a crowded area can create a domino effect and improve the day of dozens of people!
Kindness Is Teachable
“It’s kind of like weight training, we found that people can actually build up their compassion ‘muscle’ and respond to others’ suffering with care and a desire to help” (Dr. Ritchie Davidson, University of Wisconsin).”
So as we come into the home stretch of the Christmas season, thank you for Lighting the World, and thank you for following and supporting Candle in the Window. May you be blessed in all the good things you do as we LIGHT the world every day of the year.
Love Ya, Les :)
