Something Each Day

Hope you are doing very well today. Just as a butterfly lands gently on a flower, our words can be a gentle touch on someone's life each day.

Many have expressed to me over the years that they don't have anything to offer anyone. I've just reassured them that they did have something very valuable: their words, their encouragement, a kindness done. These have more worth than anyone can imagine.

Here are a few wise words from a magazine published a hundred years ago. Hope you enjoy.

Something Each Day

Something each day---a word.
We cannot know its power;
It grows in fruitfulness
As grows the gentle shower.
What comfort it may bring,
Where all is dark and drear!
For a kind word every day
Makes pleasant all the year.

Something each day--a deed
Of kindness and of good,
To link in closer bonds
All human brotherhood.
Oh, thus the heavenly will
We all may do while here,
For a good deed every day
Makes blessed all the year.
