DAILY DEVOTIONAL ✝️ 

Kindness -

A few years ago at my old job, there was a woman who barely spoke a word. She was always on time, worked quietly, and faded into the background so completely that most of us did not even know her name. Then one morning, a new coworker couldn’t resist cracking a joke about her clothes:

 

“Does she really show up like that every day? Looks like she just leapt off the laundry line…”

 

The room erupted in laughter—everyone but me. And certainly not her. Without a word, she packed up, left before her shift ended, and never came back. The next day, we learned she’d resigned.

 

Later, we found out she was in the middle of a painful divorce, caring for a sick daughter, and clung to this job as her only anchor. All it took was one careless “harmless” remark to send everything crashing down.

 

Since then, I’ve learned this: words don’t vanish into thin air—they linger, they hurt, and sometimes they leave scars that don’t heal. So if you don’t have something kind to say, it’s better to say nothing at all. Because the power of our words can lift someone up… or tear them apart. ~unknown 

THOUGHT OF THE DAY:🤔 No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. ~Aesop
