Random Acts of Kindness Challenge for February: Developing a Habit of Clothing Yourself in Kindness

In the midst of a harsh political climate, social unrest, and a general state of cultural and personal brokenness, ‘kindness’ can feel a bit trivial, maybe even futile. But there is an unrecognized power in simple acts of kindness to make a world of difference in someone’s day and so, a difference in the world around us. While harnessing this power takes time and intention, kindness doesn’t have to cost a thing to reap many rewards. So for the month of February, we are challenging ourselves and you to throw kindness around like confetti—because, in Christ, there is always cause for love and celebration!

It takes time to build a new habit, but after 28 days spent looking for simple ways to brighten others’ days, you’ll likely have created a new routine. Perhaps, just as you would put on a shirt or socks each morning, you and your family will become just as accustomed to a pattern of kindness.

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience” (Colossians 3:12, NIV).

As you ponder how you might clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience this month, consider joining us in trying these Random Acts of Kindness ideas—one for each day of February! We’d love to hear about your experiences as you go, so be sure to share in our Facebook Community Group!
