This is a quick update from the White Lie post. For Valentine's Day, I taped flowers and an anonymous note to the office doors for some who did not have a Valentine to share the holiday. While I did initially lie, I have been a bit more disciplined and have not lied again, though I am still letting others believe it was not me.
It's getting interesting; they keep trying to figure out who it was. AND they have been nicer to a lot of people. This is not to say that they were not nice and kind-hearted before. But I've noted more smiles, more joy and fewer snippy comments behind a person's back. They don't know who the kindness was from, so they are being nicer - and thinking better - of everyone with whom they are in contact. For all they know, any of those people could be the mysterious valentine.
In truth, is this not how we are called to act in general? Do unto others. More important: Whatsoever you do to even the least of these, you do unto Me ~ Jesus/Yeshua. So, in a way, this Valentine mischief has not only led to some small smiles earlier this week, it continues to extend... like ripples on the surface of a pond.
