Hello World!
I’m so glad you’re here! Today on the blog, we will be discussing on how YOU can make a difference, to be a benignant person! It doesn’t take money, intelligence, or knowing thousands of people. You can change someone’s thoughts, actions, or their perceptive with just a smile, with compassion or a kind word. Be that person that makes a difference in someone’s life! I use to be a manager at a Hampton Inn in Collierville, Tn. I worked at the front desk, mornings and nights. Oh, the people you would meet with all types of personality. People that are kind, mean, silent, loud, drunk, sober, hurt, happy and unhappy. Someone would literally cuss me out once a week just because we had a train across the street. I would get the ugliest look just because someone had a bad morning, but you know I tried my best to remain positive and greet each person with a smile anyways or send comforting words back to them. I would remain calm and be kind and try to change their day. I would tell myself, well their having a bad day (we all have those days) or maybe they are going though something in their lives. Maybe they are hurt, sad, broken, or even disappointed. You never know what someone is going through! You can make a difference! Each person has a story. A sad story, a happy story, an untold story, a mysterious story or a broken story. You never know what someone is going through-Be a Friend, Be an encourager, Be a listener, change someone’s world! I use to tell my staff (we would have a meeting every morning) smile, say “Hi” to a guest, open a door, be kind or ask, “How are you doing?” or “I’m so glad you are here!” You don’t know if someone came through those doors broken, ready to take their last breath, lost, or hopeless. WHAT a difference you can make just by being kind!! Ephesians 4:23, And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you. Oh, what powerful words! I love this verse and how powerful it is. Be Kind!
We would always put a card, water, and snacks into a room for families that came into town for a funeral. We would always reach out to those families and give them words of encouragement. I remember several employees and I where talking with a young lady and her family one afternoon as they returned from her brother’s funeral. I remember just listening, weeping with her and giving her a hug. Those memories I will hold dear to my heart. I will treasure those moments. She was so appreciative of how kind we were. I could tell you so many stories of how we turned someone’s bad day into a better day. We would make animals out of towels and put them into a guest’s room. They would make someone laugh, smile or brighten up someone’s day. It’s the little things! Make a difference today! Choose to be happy! Choose to be kind! Choose to be nice to someone even though they don’t deserve it! Someone is watching you, our most precious gifts! They are learning, observing and watching what yo do! They do what they see, so teach your children at a young age to be kind. Love today! Teach today, kindness! I have a dear friend, Mrs. Dorothy Gates, that has written a book called P.I.N.K. (People In Need of Kindness). (Click on the pic to get your copy today!)
