A small cup of water can save a thirsty man, a few words of encouragement can inspire a weary spirit, and a small loaf of bread can stir hope in a hopeless time. No little act of kindness goes unnoticed, they always leave an impact for something positive. It's not often about the size of it, else kindness would have been for the elites; what matters most is the heart that longs to give. Every act of kindness saves a dying person and might be one's hope to live one more day.
Most times the little act of kindness is what touches the heart the most. They leave a footprint not just of one's goodness but an example of love and a gentle spirit of humanity. Kindness isn't just an act, but a lifestyle of our maker who himself is love. While in school I once slept hungry for two days, no one knew I had managed to go through days without eating until the third day when a friend gave me a plate of rice. To him it was small, but to me it was everything, it was more than just a plate of food, it was an answer to my prayer.

I never forgot him, the day never escaped my memories. For years I still sing of the goodness he showed to me. He never knew how much his little act of kindness did to me, but to me it was everything, the exact thing I needed to be able to go another day.
Sometimes we don't give out certain things because we trivialize its size and amount, but these small acts of kindness could be one's reason to go through another day. It doesn't matter how small it is, it doesn't matter how big it is , what matters is one's willingness to spread love through a little act of kindness.
