Heavenly perspective
"For Judaism, the sacred is a realm that
both permeates the everyday and extends far beyond it. Lighting a match
is a simple act, but using that match to light a Shabbat candle gives it
an everlasting dimension. Doing an act of kindness for another is a
beautiful thing; recognizing it as a mitzvah adds an invisible vertical
line stretching to eternity." - Rabbi David Wolpe

What's a mitzvah?
a good deed that you basically can't refuse to do if you call yourself a follower of Yahweh
I don't do a lot of good deeds; that's convicting. :/ And yet, will I change?
well, the point is to see that the kindnesses that you do matter spiritually and to see them that way. and i seem to recall that your most recent post has some mitzvahs that you've done mentioned. :)
:D It's so helpful to have others point those things out, because sometimes it's hard to see things in yourself.
