Inspired by words of Nimo Patel in “Being Kind” —
I just sit and pray in silence and God shows me the signs. I open my eyes and realize we are fine, one small act at a time.
Small acts we do together, even though maybe alone, change the world for the better, so we can call it home.
And this is life: as we know, when our hearts are aligned, the magic that unfolds, one small act at a time.
When I’m kind to others, they pay it forward. This is how we build trust. Thank You, God, for letting me realize, when I serve humanity, I’m really serving You in disguise.
