Random acts of Kindness. Make a Difference Mondays.
These were the first couple that came to mind. I'm sure there are a long list of similar themes to which we could apply ourselves from time to time. Thinking of this I'd like to encourage you to grab a question from page 200 and give us some feedback.
I'm going to consider a powerful act of kindness shown towards me that has had lasting results. I ran away from home just at my sixteenth birthday. I needed a "safe place". A pastor and his wife opened their home to me, sight unseen, and provided a stable, safe Christian environment. Thru that act of kindness and selfless love God was able to plant good seed in the soil of my heart and now some 43 years later I get glimpses of "good fruit".

I'll take question 3: What challenges your spirit of kindness the most? What immediately comes to my mind is disobedience or disrespect. Those two things will irk me quite quickly, and I can find it hard to show kindness.
I too will answer question #3. The thing that challenges me most where kindness is concerned is injustice. I cannot tolerate outright injustice. It is just plain wrong.
While I can demonstrate civility in the face of injustice, my heart/attitude is truly, surely tried.
