We often focus on the hero’s journey, but many times we forget about the amazing people that helped the hero along the way. The unsung heroes that make all the difference.
I want to share something with you that might just change how you see yourself and the impact you have on the world around you.
It all started with a CRACKED egg named Edward.
As I was telling bedtime stories to my kids, I created this character - Edward the Egg. In every story, poor Edward would crack.
But here's the beautiful part that I didn't fully appreciate until much later: in each story, someone was always there to help tape Edward back together.
These helpers didn't have to step in. They could have ignored Edward, eaten him (he is an egg, after all!), or even lectured him about being more careful. But instead, they offered support. And you know what? That changed everything.
It got me thinking about our own lives. We're often so focused on being the hero of our own story that we forget about the incredible power we have to be that supportive character in someone else's journey.
Remember that time you smiled at a stranger, listened to a friend, offered a small piece of advice or lent a helping hand? In those moments, you you were like a 'helper' taping someone's cracked world back together. Just like Paul encourages us in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up," you were living out that verse in real time.
So today, I want to thank you. Your kindness, your willingness to take a moment out of your day for someone else - is a reflection of the love that I believe is at the core of who you are.
You, my friend, are.....
Ahhh...mazing. Let your kiddos know how amazing they are too and how small acts of kindness can make a huge impact.
Today’s Simple Tip to Share:
The world needs what you have to offer - your smile, your words, your presence.
Your kindness can change someone's entire story.
I'd love to hear about a time when a small act of kindness made a big difference in your life, or how you’ve been a helping hand for someone else. Your stories inspire me. Comment below and inspire others too.
