Meaningful Reflections: 2026 Spiritual Health and Counseling theme announced
Kindness comes in many forms and does not have to cost anything; yet the impact is often more valuable than imagined.
By Kim Crawford Meeks
Spiritual Health & Counseling Manager
The theme for the Spiritual Health and Counseling Department for 2026 is: Be Kind — Kindness is the Spark that Ignites Peace, Joy, and Hope. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.”
Whatever situation we may come across, the smallest act of kindness may change someone’s day in the most incredible way.
Kindness comes in many forms and does not have to cost anything; yet the impact is often more valuable than imagined. I invite you to receive this blessing of kindness to begin our new year, and may you find kindness in abundance.
Blessing of Kindness
May kindness be the spark within you,
Igniting joy where there is sorrow,
Hope where there is weariness,
And peace where there is unrest.
May every kind word you speak and compassionate act
Flow outward like ripples of water,
Touching lives you may never know,
Healing hearts you may never meet.
May your spark of kindness ignite kindness,
Your light awaken light,
Until the world is warmed
By the quiet fire of goodness
That began in your heart.
May you always be blessed
To see how even the smallest spark
Can grow into a flame
That brightens life for yourself and others.
