It seems that you cannot turn on the television or look at the internet without being confronted with candidates running for political office or promoting a political agenda. There is a constant babble of what’s being done, what should have been done, who is at fault, pointing of fingers, badmouthing candidates, and worse. It becomes almost overwhelming in may ways! One day as I was browsing on Facebook, I came across a post that caught my attention.

Many times in our All Are Welcome column, we have referred to” Random Acts of Kindness” and have been encouraged to make it a part of our way of life. So, I decided that if I was ever to run for office of any kind, that this post would be my platform. It may not be world shaking in the field of politics, but I guarantee you it would make a difference in the way the world interacts.

“As the world fights to figure everything out, I will be holding doors for strangers, letting people cut in front of me in traffic, saying good morning, keeping babies entertained in grocery lines, stopping to talk to someone who is lonely, being patient with sales clerks, smiling at passers by.

WHY?

Because I will not stand idly by and live in a world where love is invisible. Join me in showing kindness, understanding, and judging less. Be kind to a stranger, give grace to friends who are having a bad day, be forgiving of yourself–today and every day. BE the change, BE the light, start today and never stop! (frenchlavie.com)

Well, what do you think? Would you vote for this platform? Sure sounds a lot better than any I have heard yet!

So let’s change the world by one random act of kindness at a time!

Have a blessed week!
