As a child, I remember tossing small stones into the water, so we could enjoy watching the ripple effect. I have been thinking lately about the ripple effect of showing love. I think God uses the love we show, in many ways we wouldn't have realized.
- someone's day is suddenly brightened
- a person who awoke feeling hopeless suddenly finds a glimmer of hope
- a baby coos and smiles back
- a wife suddenly doesn't mind cooking one more meal
- an ordinary looking person suddenly imagines themselves to be beautiful
- a hubby suddenly doesn't mind the drive to the office, and the grind of another day's work

all because a little bit of love was shown.
How can your acts of love and kindness change the day of those you come into contact with? And once being touched by your act of love, what effect might they have on someone else? So we see that your one act of love may stretch well beyond you into the lives of many.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
