@CG Walters – Your welcome, and I appreciate your time here!

@Patricia – Very cool, Patricia. Thanks for sharing that here, about your son calling out of the blue. I think that’s a great reminder for all of us – something as simple as a telephone call can really brighten someone’s day.

If we aren't too busy, our children can teach us so much about life. Enjoy every minute of your child's time with you. My children are 31 and 32 years old. Even today, they still catch me by surprise with what they say and do with Life. My son made me feel so loved just two nights ago when he called, out of the blue, to say thank you for some things that I had done for him that day. My heart swelled with love.

Tess, thanks for stopping by! Very cool! I “try” to not pass up opportunities to be kind. Yet, I’m left wondering…are there things, sometimes, that I’m just not seeing because I get too caught up in me. And yet, you make an excellent point – about it coming back tenfold. Even if it’s not right away…

I'm very aware of being kind and never pass up a chance. It always comes back tenfold! Tess The Bold Life´s last blog post..Happy Holidays

Jennifer, thank you (I’m saying that a lot to you today, it seems!). I think that, although I may have helped him find his radar, it’s also something that he has within him – that he has also found himself. Watching this, I thought the same thing as you – my radar could be dusted off too. It’s so easy to be kind, in simple ways. Why do we sometimes not do it? I’m looking harder too, and it’s because of a little guy in my life who reminded me, through his actions, of what is truly important…

Yes, little bear has learned from Papa Bear. Papa bear helped him find his radar. My radar can use some dusting off so the reception is clear on the screen. Thanks for the reminder to look for the small opportunities that mean so much. You have a real knack for showing us these important lessons. Thanks to you, I'm going to start looking harder.

@Leanne – Well, thank you, Leanne, for your kind words. Watching this all play out was such a powerfully special experience for me. It was so simple, yet so special. And done without any prompting by anyone – very neat!

Little Bear certainly did pick up on gestures displayed by his parents there is no doubt about it. Kindness comes from the heart, and can be enhanced in the right environment. Great message you shared from this simple act you observed. Leanne Magraith | Forever Change´s last blog post..Is Human Stupidity Infinite?

@Liara – That’s exactly it, kindness doesn’t have to cost a thing! It IS what’s in our heart, and when we really listen to it – wonderful things began to happen… Thank you, Liara, for reminding me that kindness doesn’t have to have a cost – it’s something we can freely give!

Lance, I love this story. It encourages people. Gestures of kindness cost no money. They simply require a genuine heart. As people attune to themselves, they rediscover what this means. Liara Covert´s last blog post..5 Ways to reframe broken relationships

@Natalia – Thank you, Natalia! Yes, when we can get to the point where we’re kind “just because” – what a great place to be! And, if we can pass some of that on to others in our life, what a gift we have given…

@Zandria – Thank you, so much, Zandria! You can’t imagine how proud of him I was at that moment – it was just a small gesture on his part, and yet something I will remember always…

@Mama C – That’s really what made this so special – that he did this all on his own. We, too, are telling our kids to use their manners, be helpful, etc. Sometimes it seems like it falls on deaf ears. And then there’s a moment like this. And that’s when you know, really know, that they “get it”. And not just at the surface, but deep down. From their heart, they get it. And that’s pretty awesome to witness!

Lance, how awesome that is as a parent to witness your child do something so kind with no external prompting! I'm always telling my kids to say thank you, please, be polite, etc etc. and feeling like-when is this ever going to sink in? But truly, it's not about what I tell them. And it's not about being "polite". It's about what they observe me doing that is going to sink in. What a good and gentle reminder you have given me to pay attention to those opportunities to serve. And it's those little moments, helping those little ones, that count the most. Mama C´s last blog post..Bright
