Acts of Kindness for Your Heart

“To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.” ~Mahatma Gandhi “Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.” ~Mahatma Gandhi In addition to its service, extending kindness to others brings joy to the heart. Yet sometimes the heart of the giver needs kindness for itself. Otherwise, the heart can grow tired and resentful, and become barricaded behind a wall of protection. The barricade protects the heart from pain, but also restricts the heart’s capacity for joy. In today’s Prayer & Healing Circle, we’ll practice not-so-random acts of kindness for our own hearts to release the barricades and restore and expand the capacity for joy.
