Jesus prayed for, cried with, and rejoiced alongside His disciples, and we are called to follow His example. Paul admonishes in Romans 12:15, "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." Be a light and an encouragement to someone today.
Kindness is contagious!
Did your mom ask you to put away groceries? If you notice that the pantry needs to be cleaned, do that, too. Remember that you are serving Christ and every good deed you do is for Him and performed through His strength alone.

Either today or at some point this week, tell a sibling (or if you don't have a sibling, a close friend) one thing that you love about them. Be specific and uplifting. Whether in person or by phone, text, or email, make their day!

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year! We just want to thank you guys for sticking with us through 2022. We hope the challenges we shared could inspire you to kindness and put a smile on your face :) We, too, were personally challenged to share kindness throughout 2022, and we are hoping to continue this in 2023.
There are two major changes coming to OSK in the new year, one of which is a schedule change. Rather than posting weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays, we'll mainly be posting only once a week on either Tuesday or Friday. The exception for this will be when we have guest posters, people who will come on and share personal stories of kindness. We think you will be especially inspired by these stories. We have already reached out to several people who have agreed to post, but if you or a friend are also interested in guest posting, feel free to drop a comment with your story and we'll consider posting it!
If you're subscribed by email, you may have noticed that our emails have stopped! The subscription service we've been using was discontinued, so we've begun using another service that will hopefully do the job. If you'd still like to be subscribed by email, fill out THIS FORM or use the form on the sidebar.
We look forward to hearing how God has worked through your simple and random acts of kindness both this year and next!
Many blessings,
Kate and Ellie
As we jump into a new year, resolve right now to guard your heart and mind; think only of what is "noble," "right," "pure," "admirable," "excellent," and "praiseworthy," as instructed by Paul in Philippians 4:8. Your thoughts make your attitude and shape your choices. Be an encouragement to others today!

If you have the opportunity to let someone go ahead of you, take it. Jesus said, "Whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave" (Matthew 20:26-27). It is those who humble themselves that are exalted (Matthew 23:12). Putting others ahead of yourself, while challenging, is also very rewarding. And your act of kindness may just inspire others!
Kindness is contagious!
