Kindness costs nothing to give yet remains priceless to receive. Some people remember one act of kindness for the rest of their lives.
BEST DRINK OF ALL
A cup of kindness.
Anyone may give it.
Anyone may receive it.
Anytime.
Anywhere.
For any reason.
It costs nothing to pour yet remains priceless to the one receiving it.
And unlike earthly possessions…
kindness travels beyond time itself.
The Universe recognizes it immediately because kindness belongs to the natural order of life.
AULD LANG SYNE
(Times Gone By)
“And there’s a hand, my trusty friend
And gie’s a hand to thine
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne…”
What a beautiful thought.
A shared cup of kindness carried across the years.
IT IF YOU’RE SINGING THE LOUDEST
If you sing this song on New Year’s Eve, let it actually mean something.
Prepare for it beforehand by practicing kindness now.
Offer encouragement.
Show patience.
Forgive quickly.
Help quietly.
Smile often.
Notice people.
Then when the old year fades and the new one begins…
your voice will naturally sing louder because your life helped fill the cup.
DRINK OF THIS
Children especially should drink deeply from this well.
Kindness strengthens little spirits.
It creates hope.
Safety.
Wonder.
Confidence.
Joy.
You can literally see it in their eyes when they are treated gently and lovingly.
They walk lighter.
Dream sweeter.
Laugh easier.
And that is exactly how childhood was meant to feel.
ADULTS… RAISE THIS GLASS TO EACH OTHER
Adults need kindness just as much.
Sometimes more.
A kind word may stop someone from giving up.
A thoughtful gesture may restore hope.
A simple act of patience may calm a storm inside another person.
And often…
people never forget the ones who treated them kindly during difficult seasons of life.
A cup of kindness can awaken sleeping parts within the soul.
Dreams.
Talents.
Hope.
Purpose.
Healing.
Share this drink liberally.
ALL BENEFIT
Kindness asks for nothing in return.
No strings attached.
No hidden motives.
No contracts required.
It crosses every boundary humanity tries to create.
And perhaps most importantly…
showing respect, gentleness, patience, and gratitude toward life itself becomes a form of honoring the Creator who made it all.
THIS CUP HOLDS SO MUCH
A kind word.
A helping hand.
Patience.
Forgiveness.
Mercy.
Compassion.
Encouragement.
Going the extra mile.
Making allowances for others.
Choosing understanding instead of judgment.
All of these belong inside…
A CUP OF KINDNESS
Perhaps the most valuable drink in the entire Universe.
