30 Days of Simple Kindness
Hospitality doesn’t have to be complicated or grand—it often begins with the smallest gestures. A kind word, a thoughtful note, or a simple act of service can remind someone that they are seen and valued.
That’s why I created this list of 30 simple kindness ideas—one for each day of the month. These prompts are designed to be tucked into the rhythms of real life. You don’t need a perfect house, a fancy event, or hours of free time. Just a willingness to pause and look for ways to care.
You can start at the top and work your way down, or simply pick one each day as it fits into your life. However you use it, I hope this gentle guide inspires you to share kindness with the people God has placed in your path.
