Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Everything Matters


--by Bluebell, posted Jul 23, 2010

I have just finished reading the book "The shack" by William Paul Young.  It's a lovely book to read at Christmas time.  There is a beautiful paragraph in the book that stuck with me and I would like to share it with you.

"Mack, if anything matters, everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes; every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes; with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will ever be the same again." (p. 235)

I have not read it but I have browsed through it in the book shop which is allowed in our book shop( I can't afford to buy many books). I'm sure it is really a wonderful book and a great blessing.

Thank you for sharing this particular paragraph and someone said : Every time you forgive some one who had hurt you, you are contributing to the healing of the world!
Have a wonderful Christmas and all I can send from India is some warm thoughts - I heard it is snowing heavily in United Kingdom.
