Showing Kindness with Coffee

Last week, one of my best friends had a friend of the family pass away and she went to the prayer service. Afterwards, she asked if I wanted to do somehthing and I suggested we get some coffee. I told her I would pay for her coffee. She really appreciated this and she also appreciated the time to just talk and relax. It's the little things that just make people's day. Often times, I get wrapped up in my own life and problems and forget about what other people are dealing with. I then have to make a concious effort to help other people or show them kindness. However, this is a very rewarding and giving effort. Little things can really mean a lot! Simply listening, saying hello to or smiling at a stranger, or treating someone with something like coffee can make a big difference in someone else's struggles or sorrow.
