31 Days to Fruitful Living — Day 22

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

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.”

Philemon 1:7, NLT

Q4U:  How has the kindness of another refreshed your soul when you were spiritually dehydrated?

Thanks for joining me for Day 22!

Come back tomorrow for Day 23 of “31 Days to Fruitful Living.” We will chat about sowing goodness.  I may have a black thumb, but I am determined to learn how to cultivate my spiritual life.

  1. I Love this post…Watermelon is my absolute favorite!! I enjoy doing little things for others. I try to bring something yummy for my co-workers at least once a week. That refreshes me. It also means so much to get a card, message, or call from a friend right when you need it. 🙂

  2. I need to catch up on your series. Love this and I’m a big fan of the Book of Philemon. :))) Miss you at Three Word Wednesday. Hope you return once you are done with your series. Many blessings.
