"Being joyful and relying on heavenly help through prayer is a powerful way to be peaceable followers of Christ." Elder Quentin L. Cook

I think Tippy might be trying to tell us something...

With all the things going on all over the world we need to remember to find joy.

https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/kindness-ideas - We all need kindness and giving kindness brings joy as well.

I was watching a recap of a yarn convention these ladies went to and they told how they came across this package with a tag on saying that it wasn't lost - you can read the tag on the video. It totally made their day it is an easy crochet pattern and would be a great learning project and I was so impressed at what a terrific idea it was. I went to the Facebook page and they have pictures of the ones who found theirs and that it helped them thru a rough time very interesting

This all reminds me of a thing we did in my young class at church. We made a gingerbread man on cardstock. They decorated them and cut them out. Their job was to do a kindness in their home, like make brother's bed then leave the gingerbread man on the bed. The recipient then looks for a kind thing to do and leaves the gingerbread man there. It is a fun and kind activity.

It is so important, especially now when things seem unkind, dark, and bleak, to be kind and uplifting.

Funny, I just ran across that it says Random Act of Kindness day is Feb. 17 I did not know that! But we can do this all year long.

Being kind can win the day....

It will lift someone who is feeling blue and that person will be blessed by your kindness.

Tippy Longstockings says to grab a pen and jot down things that you can do.

As I am writing this, today the doorbell rang and the mailman brought me this box of kindness from Jacki... thank you sooooo much!!

I can tell you it made my day for sure.

I look forward to playing with it all!

So in our days of dark and unkind things, remember to brighten someone's day like Jacki did mine.

Missy says cheer up the sad and bring a smile to those who need one!

Tippy Longstockings says keep doing kind things, they are needed now more than ever.
