You have no idea how your message has hit home. Right now a family member is struggling from changing into being a thoughtless person to a thoughtful person, it’s a beautiful transformation.

As mentioned it doesn’t take money or anything grand to be thoughtful, something as simple as opening a door for someone who can’t, helping someone load up packages into a car who is disabled, especially during the season, are examples of being thoughtful.

Oftentimes you will find the joy in your heart from doing something so simple for someone is a great gift we can actually give to ourselves. I try to make it a point in my life to each day be thoughtful and kind.

I just wanted to tell you, I was thoughtful today

I gave two wrapped Hershey bars, as a thank you gift. They both said Thank You!, I suggested the receiver give the second one to someone they wanted to thank

The receiver said, “Then I would give it back to you.” Wasn’t that nice?

God must be trying to tell me something…this message keeps showing up in my life. Not just something I need to learn, but something I need to teach my children.

Thanks AJ

How “thought-provoking” this message is. It is so easy to get out of the habit of being thoughtful…thank you for reminding me that it is something I need to work on…and to teach and remind my children about. Blessings to you….

This is good for us to all think about. It is so easy to get wrapped up in details and life’s pressures…the human connection is what makes life so abundant.

AJ, this is wonderful! I always wanted and tried to teach my girls to take responsibility for their own actions. Doing that is a way of connecting with the others around you also. If we are responsible for our own actions, we can see how our actions affect others around us and lead us to be more thoughtful of the people and their feelings.

Thanks for this “thoughtful” message. We all need reminders of ways to help others. I do appreciate this message and also the scripture of the day touched me as well. As I go through the process of grieving for my husband, I need little nudges now and then. Thank you so much. (You are in my thoughts and my prayers dear one! AJ)

Thanks so much for this message, AJ. It is something I have been working on since I was so sick and in the hospital in August. I often feel swamped with things to do but it doesn’t take long to do something that makes someone else feel good. This is something that I am going to continue to try to improve on. This was a good reminder. (Deb, you were one of the inspirations for this message, you’re doing a GREAT JOB of being thoughtful and encouraging to others, keep it up! AJ)
