Spread The Love #loveothers14

So, during these 2 days, a group of very sweet and kind people have been going around Singapore to spread the love by giving you some lollipop or Choco Roll with a message of encouragement attached to it! If you've received one, good for you and I hope that they made your day! If you haven't/didn't, maybe you'll get it soon, so don't fret!

Anyway those people are from a church called Heart of God Church, it may not exactly be a well known church or have many members in it but what counts are the thoughts and effort that they go through in order to brighten up someone's day. I'm not from that church nor am I writing this to publicize their good doings but I just thought I would share my thoughts on this. As you know, twitter is limited to 140 characters and that is definitely not enough for me. (I like to talk/type alot :P)

To start things off, I would like to give a round of applause to the people that probably spent a good few hours preparing the goodies with the messages and giving them out. It is quite brave of them too to approach random strangers and hand them sweets. (Remember kids don't take sweets from suspicious people) Jokes aside it was really a good initiative for them to take the step to brighten up someone's day. I'm sure most of us would be taken aback by the sudden gesture but that just proves how much more we need to learn how to receive graciously.

So, what exactly should you do after receiving the sweet and message? Well of course by all means enjoy the tasty treat but there was that hashtag #loveothers14. So do what it tells you to do, spread the love! The act of kindness doesn't stop the moment you receive the sweet, it should carry on to others as well, hence the phrase "love others". No one's asking you to go give sweets to random strangers but you could always give up that seat for someone who needs it more. :)

So once again kudos to the people at Heart Of God Church and also to those who boldly approach strangers to offer them a dose of kindness! Hopefully we can all learn from this that it isn't that hard to be kind, and even the smallest acts of kindness can make someone's day. #loveothers14 , the kindness doesn't have to end here.
