| Acts of Kindness |
| Aesop, who supposedly lived sometime between 620 – 564 BC, was an ancient Greek fabulist, or storyteller, credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop’s Fables. Numerous tales credited to him have been gathered across the centuries, in many languages, in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics. |
| One quote attributed to Aesop is this:“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” While this is not a quote from the Bible, it certainly has its merit and reminds me of the kindness that the inhabitants of the island of Melita showed Paul and those that were shipwrecked with him. “And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold” (Acts 28:2). |
| What small acts of kindness will you perform today for the help and blessing of others? Not only will your kindness be appreciated by the recipient, but by the Lord as well, and, if done for Him, will be noted for a future day of reward. |
