Simple Acts of Kindness & Oh, Hey Girl! Link-Up

Everyday we wake up with a new chance to leave a lasting impression on someone else’s life; with a simple act of kindness.

Give a compliment

Compliment a strangers outfit, a friend’s organizational skills or your husband’s hard work. Share with someone what is really on your mind. Not only will it brighten their day, it will boost their confidence.

Offer A Helping Hand

Hold the door open for a stranger, help a fellow mom at the playground or make dinner for a friend. Often, the help we offer doesn’t take much extra effort on our part, but to the person in need, that little extra help means the world.

Show Someone You Care

Send a small gift to a sick friend, be a sounding board to someone in need of a talk or call a friend to see how they are doing. When someone is going through a tough time, a small gift or a listening ear can bring them a smile and a little relief.

Small acts of kindness don’t have to cost you a thing, but they are often the most valuable. You may change someone else’s day or outlook and it can leave a lasting impression. In return, you will be rewarded with the feeling that comes with doing something good for someone else.

Kindness is a powerful thing.

    What a nice post. The other day I was talking with my husband about how his family helps us out so much (buying thrifted or on sale clothes for the kids, giving us food here and there) and I felt bad and like I didn’t do enough for them. I know his family loves us but it made me wonder how I can be kind back and his response was to remember that they feel loved by Acts of Service so helping them with a project or setting up a church event (they are pastors) would mean the world to them. It really is cool think up ways to be nice here and there for others. Thanks for sharing and I think this outfit is just the cutest.

    Adorable outfit and precious reminders! It’s always amazing how much joy I feel when I bless others with kindness. Thanks for sharing!

    Really nice layered look for fall! I have been making more of an effort to offer compliments to strangers and it is amazing how they just light up. Great reminders of how little bits of kindness can make such a difference in someone’s day.

    I love this post, and it is such a great reminder. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my kid’s life I forget about simply calling a friend to see how they are doing. Def going to do this today! Also loving the red cardigan on you!

    Love your outfit and the pictures turned out gorgeous! And an act of kindness goes so far, it can totally change a persons day from bad to great 🙂

  27. 10.21.16

    I remember that time when Rachel (of Garay’s Treasures) and her family did an entire month (I believe) of random acts of kindness. It was such a pleasure to read what they did, and feel this warm fuzzy sensation in my heart, which was quickly followed by a sense of guilt and shame. The world would be a much happier place if we all did one random act of kindness each day, huh?

  28. 10.21.16

    That is such a great idea! Rachel is so sweet. I agree with you!

  29. 10.21.16

    Thanks so much Sarah!! I’ve had a couple people do really kind things for me lately and it made such a big impact 🙂

    Thank you so much Elise!!

  38. 10.21.16

    I needed to write this post to remind myself to think about some of my friends! I get wrapped up in the mom life too and start to feel like I don’t have time to talk.

  39. 10.21.16

    Compliments from strangers are the best! I know how much it brightens my days what I get them, even a simple, “I love your shoes” feels awesome! 🙂

  40. 10.21.16

    I do too Shelly! It feels even better than to give than to receive. 🙂

  41. 10.21.16

    Thanks so much Lee!

    Your husband is so right! You two sound like an awesome couple. 🙂 I was reminded of your series of posts that highlighted acts of kindness you and your family did for a month, I think that’s fantastic!
