“The holiday season promotes a heightened sense of community. It draws our chins up and helps us look above and over the limiting fence of our own events, activities and preoccupations. The opportunity for a heroic gesture can tap you quietly on the shoulder in the midst of a holiday bustle. If you are attentive, you will notice the gentle touch and will be able to respond. Remember... There are no small acts of kindness. Every compassionate act makes large the world.” IfsWorldLooksHelpingAbleRememberOpportunityCommunityKindnessEventsActivityQuietDrawsSeasonsShouldersGentleHolidayMidstCompassionateHeroicGesturesFenceChinsPreoccupationActs Of KindnessHoliday SeasonBustleSmall ActsSmall Acts Of KindnessChin UpGentle Touch Author:Mary Anne Radmacher
