Scott R. Adams, creator of the Dilbert Cartoon Strip once wrote on kindness - “Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” 
How right he is as evidenced by a random encounter I had this afternoon. On my way home from work I stopped by Lowes to pick up a tube of caulk for the bathroom. With a tube of white caulk in hand I approached the check-out counter - the cashier looked at me with a big smile and greeted me and asked how my day had been and how I was doing. Then she leaned forward and whispered to me, "keep smiling"! I guess I had a smile on my face, I was not conscious of my smiling countenance but she noticed and she really made my day.

For me, not too very long ago, I would have been in such a hurry, and preoccupied with my busy-ness, that I would not have been smiling, I would have been grumpy, and would have missed it all. Now, I am a work in progress, and I pray to be conscious of God's work in and around me each and every day! God is good all the time, all the time God is good! I thank God for the dear lady at Lowes - she was a blessing and an encourager to me!
