WORLD KINDNESS DAY

  

I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again by Stephen Grellet.

 
World kindness day is an international event which is observed 13th November yearly.

It was introduced by a coalition of nations’ kindness NGOs in 1998. Many countries like Australia, Canada, Nigeria and United Arab Emirates. Even Singapore which observed it first time in 2009.

The purpose of this event is to highlight good deeds in our community and share various threads of kindness that unites us. 

This day promotes importance of kindness to oneself, one another, community and the world bridging ethnicity, gender, race, religion, political or social class of individuals.

What it takes/cost to be kind?
It cost a little/ almost nothing to be kind to one another. You don’t need to buy a luxurious item for someone to be kind. The little things we do means a lot.

Few Ways To Portray Kindness:
- Offer to help out
- Give advice to impact one’s life
- Buy/cook food
- Give money
- Spend quality time
- Check up on someone
- Pray for/with someone
- Provide shelter for the helpless
- Offer to pay for groceries
- Help bail out that innocent kid
- Getting your neighbor’s kid a new toy, pair of uniform or help with school fees
- Visiting hospitals, orphanage and many other ways we can be kind to people.

Am sure most of the things I mentioned above won’t cost a neck, arm or leg to offer.

Let's do something impactful and life changing for someone around you. 

Leave them with a memory to smile, hope, love and live on with.
Let love lead……………………..

Love,

VALENTINE'S DAY

14th February is a day we celebrate valentine's day.This day signifies love and affection. It is marked by lovers and individuals expressing their affection with gifts and messages to their loved ones. There are several stories as to the origin of this day, but no one has pinpointed the origin of the holiday. Let's talk about the most popular valentine's day story which I believe a lot of us know and believe it to be the reason why valentine's day is celebrated. Valentine's day is named after St. Valentine a catholic priest in the 3rd century who lived in Rome.  At the time,many Romans were converting to Christians but, the Emperor Claudius II was a pagan and made laws restricting Christians on what they were allowed to do. Claudius prevented Roman soldiers from marrying because he believed that Roman soldiers should be completely devoted to Rome.  St Valentine married the soldiers in secret Christian ceremonies and that was the beginning of his reputation for his b...

February 11 is World Day of the Sick, founded by Pope John Paul II on 13th May, 1992 as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses and their caregivers. The Pope was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 1991 which was later confirmed in 2001. It is believed that his illness was the drive for him picking this day. On this day, people from around the world pray for the sick and their caretakers who work to relieve the pain of the sick.  Faith organisations mark this day by providing food, medicines, and spiritual guidance to the sick. Prayer is one of the greatest way we can show our love to people we care about. We pray to also stand in place for those who are weak, unable to pray for themselves or in hard/difficult situations. We have a deep communication with God, creating relationship and sharing our feeling and utmost thoughts through prayer. My prayers to the sick all around the world, those who spend time to care for them and help to ease...
