/11 hristians are taught to look for the good in everything, and that somehow,~ God always allows things to happen for a reason. Admittedly, that is

sometimes very difficult to understand, as is the case in the massacre of the20 school children and 6 adults in Newtown, Connecticut. In its aftermath, however,something positive and uplifting came from a simple idea suggested by Ann Curry --a TV journalist and anchor woman on NBC news. She challenged everyone to do "26Acts of Kindness" -- one for each person killed so senselessly at the Sandy HookElementary School. She thought that this would be a wonderful way of honoring thememory of those innocent victims. Amazingly, her campaign caught on. Literallyhundreds of thousands of people embraced this wonderful concept. They started doinglittle things -- like putting a gift card on someone's car windshield at a mall andleaving a 100% tip at a restaurant for the waitress. People have even paid tolls forthe driver behind them! Yes, so many people bought into Ann Curry's promise that"Doing good will make you feel good." Without shedding any negative light on the"26 Acts of Kindness" campaign, it is difficult not to think how truly sad it is that weneed a tragedy to get us thinking about doing good deeds. We often are toopreoccupied with ourselves and our problems to respond to, or even recognize, theneeds of our own family and friends -- let alone total strangers.

What did Christ teach about this? In Matthew 25:35, Christ tells us: "I was hungryand you gave Me something to eat, thirsty and you gave Me something to drink. Iwas a stranger and you took Me in . . ." Doing acts of kindness is the Christian wayof life. We do them because this is how we are supposed to live. We do them becauseChrist lived this way, and we follow His example. Don't let a day go by without doingsomething good for someone else. Truly the world will be a better place if we do.
