I went to the local post office a few days ago to mail a letter. As I was approaching the entrance, I noticed an elderly lady with a small walker struggling to push herself and the walker through the door. Immediately, I reached beyond her and opened the door wide so she could move freely inside. She thanked me kindly, and once we were both on the inside, she reached into a small compartment in her walker and handed me a small pink birdie. As she handpicked the one she wanted and reached it out to me, she said, "I make these by hand and give them to good people. My address is on the bottom along with a reminder of who Jesus is."
I glanced down at the soft birdie that she placed in my hand and was amazed by her handiwork. The gift was so well constructed with each part of the bird so perfect and intricately placed. I leaned over thanked her warmly and gave her a hug.
After taking care of business inside the post office, I returned to my car, flipped the birdie upside down and sure enough, there was an address and a reminder that read; "Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior."
Today that little birdie rides in my car perched up on the base of the steering column. She serves as a daily reminder to me of the rewards that can come from kind words and simple random acts of kindness.

Kind words are like honey--sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. Proverbs 16:34
