Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Gratitude Practice Steeped in Faith


--by debmeron, posted May 27, 2016

I am working on a daily learning in the Jewish tradition with a different Torah concept each day that includes a practice. Today's practice is Not Claiming Credit for One's Self.  Because everything we do is based on a gift we received from someone or from GOD. And  thus I feel like who are we to take all the credit. Therefore the practice is to think of something you have accomplished and who helped to make this possible AND thank that person for his or her gift to you.

This is the reason for my post today. I want to thank you all ( at Kindspring ) for the gift of inspiring me and teaching me about kindness in so many ways I never thought of before. My growing kindness is because of your kindness and I am grateful.
