How Small Kindnesses Create Big Change
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the most transformative change you could make this week was the smallest? We explore how ordinary kindness resets your day, repairs relationships, and restores hope—without grand gestures or perfect conditions. Starting with a lighthearted story about a power walk that turned into a singalong, we use real moments to show how patience, laughter, and presence are muscles you can train, not traits you either have or don’t.
From there, we map a practical kindness toolkit. We talk about mending quarrels with humility, seeking out a forgotten friend with a simple text, and choosing “guarded trust” that protects your heart without hardening it. We share why handwritten letters still matter, how loyalty in word and deed pushes back against cancellation, and why a soft answer is strength under control. For parents, mentors, and teachers, we highlight concrete ways to encourage youth who are navigating social media, pressure, and uncertainty—including a powerful true story of a teen whose life changed because a neighbor noticed and acted.
We dive into keeping promises, foregoing grudges, forgiving enemies, and apologizing without the “sorry you feel that way” dodge. Empathy becomes a daily habit when we listen to understand before trying to win. We also examine our demands on others, draw the line between real help and over-asking, and celebrate simple practices: welcoming a stranger, gladdening the heart of a child, and taking pleasure in the beauty of the earth. We close with a faith-filled reminder to speak love—and then speak it again—because unspoken affection is strength left on the table.

Hi Denise. Hello, Deborah. How's it going today? It's going pretty well. Pretty well. Good. It's cold outside. It's not as cold as it could be. For sure. That's good and bad. You've been walking a lot outside though, even though it's cold. Yes, I'm trying to get some morning light to help my sleep at night and to help me wake up and be ready for the day and get my blood flowing before I exercise. It's been quite fun. Yeah. Funny story about that. On Saturday, my husband decided to join me on my walk. We don't normally he's usually gone to work by the time I go for a walk, but it was Saturday and he didn't have to go to work. So he said, I'm gonna come on your walk with you. And I said, Great. So we started out. So we started walking. And like it's my exercise, so I'm walking fast, right? And he wants to hold my hand. I was like, I'm he says, just hold my hand. I said, I can't hold your hand and walk fast at the same time. I said, This is exercise, this is not leisure, and he's like, fine. So so we're walking and walking, and I usually make and he's talking the whole time. I'm not used to that. I'm used to this quiet in my own head, in my own thoughts, and he's just talking and making funny jokes and just having a good time, right? He's having couple time, yes, and I'm trying to have couple time because you know it's nice to have him with me, but I'm exercising. Right. I'm trying to be in the zone, right? Anyways, and I I've been making videos during my walk about things that I'm grateful for and teachings of Jesus that I'm grateful for. So I'm started making this video, and I said, You're gonna have to walk ahead of me so you're not in the video. He said, Okay, so I started my video, and while I'm talking, he starts singing. He's singing, I'm Henry VIII, I am Henry VIII. Oh, I am I am. And and I was laughing while I was making the video because I was like, people are gonna hear him. So it was pretty funny. So while I'm editing the video, I can hear him. Uh-huh. And later my daughter said, She and her little girl that's one and a half, they were watching my video, and she my grandma name is Wiggy. And so she's oh Wiggy. And then my husband started singing in the video, and she's like, Oh, Baba.
SPEAKER_00:So obviously people could hear him, and it was it was pretty funny.
SPEAKER_01:It's just a different take on my morning walk. Definitely a different take. At first, when you said that he started singing, I thought you were gonna say it had to do with something you were talking about, but absolutely nothing to do with it. No, he was just trying to be silly. Yeah, he didn't think he would be heard, but he was. So, you know, Tom, my husband, his work is very sedentary. So there's a lot of times I ask him if he wants to go on a walk with me. But I learned many years ago, if he says yes, I need to take another walk later. That's my real walk. It's a leisurely walk. It's leisurely. He's gonna point out all the animals, he's gonna ask me about different plants, he's definitely gonna hold my hand, he's gonna stop and assess people's yards. Like it's just together time, but he's moving his body to an extent. But also, he has some injury to both of his knees, and he can't comfortably walk the pace that I want to walk for that long. So it's like I just have to shift my mind. It's a different walk, and I'll take my real walk later. Yes. But but like like me when I was on my couples walk instead of my well, my exercise walk that was trying to be a couple walk. It was nice to spend time with person, right? And just walk with them and and it was nice. That's a good time. Yeah, but then we had to take our real exercise walk. Yes. There are there are days I know I don't have time, a different time to walk, so I deliberately don't ask him. Yeah, yes. Yeah, he'll a lot of times he says no anyway, but when he does, I'm always grateful and you know, just realize it's couple time. Yes, not working out, yeah. Not heart rate time. No. So what are we talking about today, Deborah? Today I want to talk about kindness. And it's been on my mind a lot over the past several months. Like there's been a song, you actually sing it in one of your videos that you did the other day. It's like been on repeat in my brain. And it's the words are Jesus said, Love everyone, treat them kindly too. When your heart is filled with love, others will love you. Others will love you. Like it's a circle, it goes around. What goes around comes around. But the bottom line is love and be kind.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And then last night I was watching a devotional, and Henry B. Iring gave a talk, and in his talk, he went through a whole list of simple acts of kindness, and it like spoke right to my heart. And I don't know if it's just because it's been on my mind and heart so much for the last little while, but I wanted to talk about like let's go through the list that he talked about and kind of expound on different ways to do some of those things. Okay, so good. So kindness is not like big grand gestures all the time, it can be simple sometimes. Exactly. It can be and usually is very simple. Did you know that on average people gain 15 pounds between Halloween and New Year's? Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's true. That's why headed into the season, I really recommend that people use the fat reduction package from Optimal Health. It breaks free from the cycles of cravings, stalled progress, and it uses science-backed approaches to weight loss. It targets nutrients that work together to help you feel your best while achieving your goals. Sounds good to me. It also helps control your hunger, has fermented fiber that supports appetite. It has fermented fiber that supports appetite regulation and makes healthy eating easier, which we need during the holidays. It does, but it also blocks fat storage. So it supplements the body to prevent you from storing fat and helping you shed unwanted pounds naturally. Nice. It also helps you boost your metabolism. Lipase, patented chromium, and herbs like berberine. Berberine is all the rage, right? Yep. Helps metabolize fat and sugar for sustained energy. So it's a complete balance of pure protein, essential fats, and carbs that simplifies balanced nutrition while supporting weight management. You can get your fat reduction pack at optimalhealthsystems.com and use the code D times2, that's DX2, to get a great discount. Make your holiday season not one where you gain 15 extra pounds. So the first on the list is mend a quarrel. Mend a quarrel. That's an act of kindness. Yeah. Whether it's a quarrel you've had with someone or something you see with friends or family, a division that has happened of some sort. You can mend a quarrel. Yeah. I that's true. Healing the breach. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm sharing this list with you so that you can bring out some of the points also. But the next one that I saw on the list that really spoke to me was to seek out a forgotten friend. It's so easy to lose track of people or just not stay in touch with people. And I actually had someone do this to me not that long ago. Someone who I've spoken about in the past. Like in my heart, she's my sister. She's my forever friend, but we hadn't talked in a couple of years. And she sent me a text just out of the blue. Those are the best. It is. She just said, I love you. I'm thinking about you. I miss you. I hope everything is going well. She didn't ask anything of me. She didn't even, you know, how are you? Just I want you to know I'm thinking of you. That's beautiful. Yeah. Those kind of texts are really nice to get. Because we think about people, but how often do we reach out and say something? I like that. Okay, the next one is dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Well, that's a tough one to do. I've become more suspicious. I was gonna say, I think it depends on your personality or your jadedness that sometimes come with life experience or with age. Is that why you think you've become more suspicious? Yes. I used to be so trusting of people and thought that people had no the best intentions and they had your best interest at heart. And boy, is that not even true. I've become become a little jaded and a little distrustful, and it's really not healthy for me, I guess. So maybe I can apply that one. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. And see, I'm the opposite. I am a natural Pollyanna. I always have been, and I think I probably always will be because I choose, like it's just how I look at life. Like I expect people to do good things. Yeah, I do too. I just have been burned way too many times. As well, burned. But I talked to my husband quite a bit about this because he came up the other way, where it was in a life of distrust and unease, and who's out to get me. And I've watched him shift how he looks at things, and sometimes I see him slip back that direction. And I think just assuming the best in people helps to bring out the best in people. That's true. I've been a Pollyanna for a lot of my life and I have had to pull back because there are a lot of people that have hurt and broken trust. Yeah. So I guess I need to take a lesson from that and safe. It's like a guarded trust. Yes. Yep. I understand. Yeah. Because I've had some of those things too. My thing is not my thing, the thing, I think, is to like with some people, they've proven who they are and that you know you cannot trust them. But don't make that a blanket. Distrust for everybody.
SPEAKER_00:That's good.
SPEAKER_01:Keep it guarded around them and keep the walls up around them rather than around yourself. That's good advice. That's how I personally approach it. That's a good approach.
SPEAKER_00:Thanks, Deb.
SPEAKER_01:Because some people you must always use caution with. Sometimes leopards can't change their spots. Yes. Sometimes they can, but they won't or they don't want to. Yeah. Yeah. So if they've proven themselves, then believe them, trust what they've said, but don't make it universally applicable to everybody else because the smaller group or person or whatever did that. Okay, what's the next one? The next is to write a letter or to reconnect or just encourage. So I see it as write an email or write a text. But how cool is it to write a letter or write a card? I can I share an experience I had last week? Please. I received a letter in the mail from somebody in my neighborhood. And I was like, why are they sending me a letter? Like they didn't have a graduation or a wedding or a baby. No, not my agenda. No. And I opened it up and this person just write, wrote the sweetest thank you. Yeah. And and said, shared some things that impacted them that I had done or said, and how they were better for annoying me. And I thought that was really sweet. So that was the living example of that exact thing. Yeah. It was it was really sweet. So write a letter. Write a letter. Encourage. Jesse Itzler does that. He writes letters, handwritten letters throughout the year. I almost mentioned him earlier when we talked about seeking out a forgotten friend, because he also has said that he makes sure that he reaches out to a different friend every week. But with a call. Like he calls them. Oh, that's good too. Yeah. But he does. He writes, he sits down at the end of the, I think it's at the end of the year and writes like 50 letters, cards to people, true, genuine, heartfelt thanks. And and he's one of the masters at maintaining connection. He sure is. Yeah. It's important. Good person to learn from. Okay, the next one. Give a soft answer. Respond gently. A soft answer turneth away wrath. I think you're very good at this. Also, our dad is very good at this. Dad's a no dad's a pro. Yeah. For sure. Seriously, how many times have you heard him raise his voice? He didn't have to raise his voice, he just had to look at us. Just look at us, and we knew we should shape up. But I think there's more power in the soft and the gentle than there is in the harsh or loud. That's true. I've seen a couple of things going on. Charlie Kirk talked about this actually being a real man. And a real man is is strength. It takes a lot of strength to answer softly. To answer respectfully and not be a force and budge and bully, and so responding gently will get you a better response from the person you're talking to than force. That instantly puts up walls. Yeah. And block. So the next is to encourage youth. The young people. Yeah. Those youngsters. They need encouragement. They face things today that we never would have dreamed happening. Yeah, we couldn't have imagined. Social media, friends, movies, music, it's just there's a lot. There's a lot out there. And they have so much promise and potential that the more that can be encouraged and pointed out and almost edified in them, the better. Sometimes that turns their life around. You hear stories about people who had a have a rough home, and somebody, some adult, was literally kind to them, said nice things to them, encouraged them in school or in sports, and it turned their life around. They need that. More than more than adults, I think the youth need that. They do. Can I talk about a specific example? You betcha. So I was made aware of this, I'm gonna say years ago, when the family that first took this guy in did it. So a lady was driving down the street, saw a young man sitting on the curb in her neighborhood with a bag next to him, just looking absolutely defeated and dejected. And she stopped with the heart of an angel to see if he needed help and what was going on. And he, like he was in his high school years, he had been kicked out of his house, didn't really know why, didn't really know what to do or where to go. And her family took him in and um did like exactly what we're talking about, uplifted and encouraged, provided a good environment. And like they to this point in in time, it's probably eight to ten years later, they are still considered family, and like they helped him get into college. He went through college with a football scholarship. He is now a pro football player on the Denver Broncos, like absolutely turned his life around from her driving by, seeing him sitting on the curb looking like he needed help, and then acting on it.
SPEAKER_00:That's beautiful.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. His name is Garrett Bowles, B-O-L-L-E-S, if anyone wants to look him up. His story is amazing. But I remember hearing it from her when they very first took him in, and then along the way of his journey with them. Yeah. They just need a little bit of encouragement. Okay, so the next one is manifest your loyalty in word and deed. That's a good thing to do. Why do you think that's a kindness? Or how? How do you think that's a kindness? Why is that kindness? Well, there's these days. In today's world, loyalties, quote unquote loyalties, shift a lot. True. So you're following this person and in your friends with somebody, and then you see one tiny little 10-second snippet of their life, and you turn on them. That happens in high school. It happens. It's called being canceled, right? Yeah. You're canceled, immediately canceled. But should we cancel culture somebody or change our loyalties from somebody because of one small moment in their life when they weren't perfect? Like we all had those moments. What? We're not all perfect all the time. Yeah, unfortunately. No, we're not. There should be loyalty. There should be a sense of I've got your back. Yeah. We're friends, even though you don't, even though you you screw up because we all do. Yep. I'm still your friend. I still got you. That is that is kindness. That's like a true friend kindness. So manifesting loyalty in word and deed. Yeah. The next is to keep a promise. That's totally a kindness. Yeah. Also foregoing a grudge. Mm-hmm. That's something that I I feel like I just see more of on social media because so many people behind a screen will be very Very much different than they would be to your face. And then grudges develop and anger develops and divisiveness develops. And you could just not. And then it spreads, right? It's amazing how fast that stuff spreads. It spreads like a weed. And instead, you could sh just say something kind. Yeah. And hope that spreads.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. People like kindness too. So I like that. Forego a grudge. Keep a promise. There are a lot of promises broken. A lot of people have a lot, there's a lot of lip service.
SPEAKER_01:So promises kept, I think, is also a good kindness. I like that one. How about forgiving an enemy? That's definitely a kindness, and it can go along with for foregoing a grudge. Yeah.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:But or or even forgiving a grudge, but forgive an enemy. We choose. We choose who we forgive. And we are commanded to forgive everyone. I think it's easier when it's not an enemy. It's the true test of our character when we can forgive an enemy. It's sometimes takes a little bit of divine assistance to do that. Definitely. But it's there to be given. So, and when we don't forgive, it just weighs heavier on our own hearts and on our own minds and is very detrimental to ourselves. Yes. So it is kind to the person and also kind to ourselves. Yes. The next on the list is to apologize when appropriate. How simple can a sorry be? Like just say I'm sorry. Sometimes it's hard. And don't say, I'm sorry you feel that way. You can say, I'm sorry I made you feel that way. But have a true, sincere apology. Yeah, that is a very good kindness. Quick to forgive. Yeah. How about trying to understand others and showing empathy to others? That kindness. That's definitely kindness. And I think it's so needed in our world these days. People are going through so much. And you never ever know what lies beneath the surface because people will put on their happy face, their polite social face, where they may be really, really struggling. They may be really just having the worst day, or they might be having financial difficulty, they might be having marital trouble, they might be fighting with their kid, like whatever. You don't know, and people don't always show it. So just try to trying to have empathy and trying to goes back to assuming assuming the best in people and having compassion and empathy. Like we all go through things, we all have hard times. That's that's true. You can't you can't know what somebody else is going through. And I think in in a conversation, that is really important. Try to understand and then show empathy. Sometimes in conversations, we want to prove our point. Right. And so we're listening to argue instead of listening to understand. Yes. That's that is a good kindness to show. How about examine your own demands on others? Are we demanding that one and this one go together? I think. Think of someone else first. So sorry, think of someone else and put others first. That one and examine your own demands on others. I think those go together. I think they can go together. And I think you like I want to give a like a little caution with examining your own demands on others because I do think it's important not to be overly demanding or have unrealistic demands or expectations on others. But especially to the women, a lot of times we try not to need anything from anybody else and not be a burden on anyone. There's differences between asking for help or having some sort of a quote demand and being a burden. It's okay to ask for help when you need it, but don't lay your laundry list and expect someone else or other people to come in and solve all of it for you. Does do you understand what I'm saying like that? Totally understand what you're saying. If you are capable of doing something, you should do it. If you need help, ask for help. Yes. Yeah. There are too many people that I observe that are perfectly capable of doing things, but they ask others to give up their time to do something for them that they could totally do themselves. Does that make sense? It does, and I'm not gonna lie, like I saw a prime example of this last week, and I I'm gonna say clenched my teeth so hard because there's this family, and they've been getting ready to move for four months. They've been very vocal about getting ready to move for four months, and it was I'm gonna say Friday or Saturday, and the moving truck is here. None of our house is packed. We need everybody to come help us pack. Oh, for heaven's sakes. And I thought, no, you don't. You've been working on it for four months. You might need a little help at the end that you couldn't get done, but if you left it all to just have everyone else do it for you, that's terrible. No kidding. That's taking advantage. Yes. So I'm gonna give you the opposite Saturday. We had a family move into our neighborhood and we knew they were coming, and we'd arranged for some people to go to their house and help them. And by the time at the appointed time, my husband and some other people showed up and they had moved pretty much everything into their house on their own. That's amazing. And they needed a little help with some bigger things. And so like complete opposite of what you just said. Complete opposite. Yeah, they didn't, they weren't demanding to be moved in by anybody, they just needed a little help. Yeah. So just be aware. Be aware what you're asking of others. Yeah. Okay. Be kind. Be gentle. Those in themselves are kindness. Yes. Just be kind. I have a shirt that says that. I got one for Tom too. Be kind. Period. Like that's what it says. It's a complete sentence. Yes. Be kind. Yes. Same with be gentle. Yes. We've talked a little bit about that already. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Oh, I like that one. Yes. Laugh a little more. I'm always looking for reasons to laugh. Yeah. It's way, way better. It doesn't give you a headache.
unknown:No.
SPEAKER_01:Crying makes me have a headache. So laughing, I would rather laugh. Yeah. Laugh a little more. Why is that kind? To laugh, it's uplifting to anyone who hears it, even if they don't know why you're laughing. It's also kind to yourself. That's what I was thinking. Yeah. Because you can laugh like I laugh when no one's around. So do I. Me, myself, and I are having this great conversation. We pack ourselves up. It's internal exercise. It gets good endorphins going. It just is good for you. It's kind to you and kind to others. Yeah. I like that. The next one makes me think of you because of what you've been doing for the last, I'm going to say, several weeks with expressing your gratitude. You've been deliberately doing that every day in a public way.
SPEAKER_00:I have.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. How has that affected you and why is that a kindness? Well, I think it's kind to well, gratitude is the ultimate kindness to God, right? Because everything comes from Him. Yes. So I think, and people like to be thanked. Yes. So I think that that's one reason that it's a kindness. And how has it affected me? I have to think about things. I don't want to repeat what I'm grateful for. Uh-huh. And so it's been five weeks that I've been doing it, five days a week. No, six days a week. And at first it was easy. I was listening off like three or four things I was thankful for. And then I thought this needs to go a little bit deeper than just I'm thankful that it's not snowing today. So there are so many things that I can be grateful for, and it's made me do some introspection to dig where I really am. Dig deeper. Yeah. Yeah. And it's been good for me. It's a good way to start my morning. Yeah. So it's an interesting way to like to consider it a kindness, but it is you're kind to others when you express gratitude to them for whatever. The next simple act of kindness is to welcome a stranger. That's a great kindness. I've been in a place where I don't know anybody, and it's so nice to have somebody smile at you or shake your hand and welcome you. Yes. I've been in that place a million times. I've moved so many times that I have been a stranger many, many times. Even with the different like schools and classes. Like you're a stranger all the time.
unknown:Yep.
SPEAKER_01:But I think of people who've never met a stranger. Every like they they are the welcoming. They are the smilers. They are the greeters. They see you and say, I haven't seen you before. Who are you? Tell me about yourself. And that welcoming is to me one of the ultimate kindnesses. That you're meeting somebody you don't know, but they're not a stranger. They're immediately welcoming you in. Yes. That's beautiful. Yeah. I know a guy like that. He'll shake anybody's hand and welcome them and say, Hey, it's good to see you. Yeah. That's the it's the coolest thing.
SPEAKER_00:Makes you feel makes you feel good. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I like this one. Glad in the heart of a child. Have you one of the best sounds in the world is a child laughing. Yes. Like it's just this honest laugh full of joy and happiness. I love it. Glad in the heart of a child. But why is that kind? Well, I think it's kind to the child. True. Because I don't know how to define it. It just is. It just is a kindness. To make them glad. Yeah. Yeah. There's little cheerful. They're these little blank slates who just think life is good anyway. So to make their heart. Hopefully. Hopefully. Yes. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. That's one of the simple kindnesses. And I think that's one of the cool ones that doesn't even have to affect, like it doesn't have to involve anyone else.
SPEAKER_00:That's true.
SPEAKER_01:That's one of my favorite ones. So who is that kind to? Well, for one, it's kind to God as the creator of all things. I also see it as a self-kindness because it's uplifting to me when I notice and take pleasure in the beauty of the earth. I do it every time I take a walk. I look at the sky, I look at the trees, I look at the grass, I look at the rocks, I look at all the things and just am appreciative of them.
SPEAKER_00:I like that. Kindness to God, I like that one.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, the last one is very powerful. It is. Speak your love and then speak it again. Yeah, too many times it's in it's held in. We withhold the almost verbal vomit, verbal diarrhea of your love. True sincerely. Yes, sincerely. Sincerely vocal of it to your family, to your friends. Share the love. Yeah. Share the love. I like that one. That's a great way. That's the great last one. So there's a song that goes along with what we're talking about. It's a song that we have in our church. It's based off a doctrine of Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_00:Do you want to read the lyrics for us, Deborah?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. So the song is called Love One Another. And it it's based off of in the New Testament. So it's as I have loved you, love one another. This new commandment, love one another. By this shall men know ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
SPEAKER_00:That's beautiful.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Love one another. I don't think it gets more simple than that. Yes. Share the love, be kind, period. I like that. Some people say, period, the end. I like that. Thank you, Deborah, for sharing that with us today. You're welcome. It really touched my heart when I listened to that last night and it really made me think. So hopefully it makes you think, makes our listeners think, and just helps shift the narrative to a more kind, a kinder, gentler world. Perfect. We need that very much. Thank you, Deborah.
