Here’s an invitation to share that kind word — the one you’ve been sitting on, thinking about, but hesitating to send, or forgetting.
Months ago, all of my coworkers signed a card. We each wrote a short sentence or phrase of encouragement and signed our names. It probably took ten seconds for each one of us.
But it meant the world to the recipient. I happen to know he has carried that card with him for months. It’s become a tangible reminder that we are with him — standing behind him, offering encouragement, and reminding him of his own abundant strength.
Simple words. Small actions. Ordinary forms of recognition.
These acts of kindness go much further than we often realize.
