A juicy piece of watermelon on a hot, blistering day is perfectly refreshing.  If you read up online on the benefits of this fruit as I did, you will discover that some consider watermelon to be a “miracle recovery fruit” after a workout.

Kindness is also a “miracle recovery fruit”  — When life gets “hot,” a serving of kindness will refresh your neighbor’s spirit.  For those who are spiritually dehydrated, this fruit will help quench the thirst.

What seed of kindness can you sow today that will refresh the heart of a weary friend? You could offer to babysit for a single mom.  You could buy a meal for a homeless person.  You could pick up the phone and call that friend who is going through a dark time right now.

Stay alert for opportunities this week that may present themselves for you to sow kindness.

“Your love

has given me much joy

and comfort, my brother,

for your kindness

has often refreshed the hearts

of God’s people.”
