31 Days - Day 6

 
Acts of Kindness

Both simple and grand acts of kindness make a difference in the lives of others and when we're the ones performing them, in our own lives. Here are a few simple ideas that can have a ripple effect.

  1. At least once a day do something selfless for someone else.
  2. Pick up litter. Instead of walking by trash on the sidewalk, throw it in the garbage can. Every little bit helps and even one piece makes a difference.
  3. Donate books you no longer need. An adult daycare or elder care facility.
  4. Donate a bag of dog or cat food (or both) to your local animal shelter.
  5. Hold the door for someone else and let them go ahead.
  6. Write a personal note of thanks to someone who has made a difference to you.
  7. Write a personal note letting someone know you thought of them instead of sending a text, tweet or Facebook message.
  8. Pick up the phone and call that loved one or friend you haven't spoken to in months or years (for whatever reason).
  9. Compliment someone who does something well; compliment with sincerity and acknowledge what a difference they make.
  10. Drive courteously. Let a few cars merge in front of you. If someone cuts you off, slow down and forget about it.

Love is kind...rejoices in truth...believes all things, hopes all things...Love never fails. 1 Cor 13:4-8

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
