A number of years ago various "Random Acts of Kindness” days, weeks or months were proclaimed in different areas. Wikipedia says that Random Acts of Kindness Day is celebrated annually in the United States on Feb. 17 and in New Zealand on Sept. 1.

It’s great that people are trying to encourage more kindness, but when you think about it, it’s a shame that society has to be told to be kind for a set period of time.

Being kind is not something one does randomly or for a specified length of time. Truly being kind is a continual behavior that should be demonstrated in all aspects of life.

Paul wrote, “And be kind to one another” (Ephesians 4:32). Jesus set the example by being the kindest person ever. Follow Him and make your corner of the world a kind place all the time!
