The Compliment That Gets Back to Them

Passing along a sincere compliment

Here's a different kindness challenge for this week:

Tell someone something good about a person they love.

Tell a mom, “Your son was really thoughtful today.”

Tell a husband, “Your wife always makes people feel welcome.”

Tell a grandparent something wonderful you noticed about their grandchild. Tell a parent their adult child did something kind.

There's something special about hearing that somebody you love is doing good in the world when you aren't around to see it.

We often pass along complaints without hesitation. Let's become people who pass along the good reports, too.

One sincere sentence can become the thing somebody repeats at the dinner table that evening.

Today's challenge: Notice something good. Tell somebody who will be glad to hear it.

Good news is worth passing along.
