KINDNESS MATTERS

With everything that’s going on in the world we have to start paying more attention to those closest to us, checking on them, and making sure they’re ok. But that should also extend to those we don’t know as well. It doesn’t take much to brighten someone’s day! It could be a wave hello, opening a door, or a simple smile. Those acts alone could change someone’s whole day around. Below are just a few small ways to show someone you care. Please drop a note in the comments to let me know how you’re practicing kindness!

Card Making

My daughter and I love to create! So we decided to start making cards for people. All you need are few basic supplies such as paper, colors, markers or paint and maybe a few embellishments such as yarn or buttons. Anything you have around the house would work! Decorate & write an encouraging message on them and either give them to someone you know or leave them in a random place. Our favorite place to leave these are at grocery stores since that’s really the only place we go nowadays :)

deliver sweet treats!

This picture was actually from a kind act that our neighbors did for us! The family owns a donut shop and every so often the father and his daughter will get in their van to deliver donuts to everyone on the block. How SWEET is that!!

pray for others

If you can’t do anything else the least you can do is pray. I was encouraged to make this shirt because I really wanted to begin praying for those I didn’t know, but as an introvert I couldn’t figure out how to do it. God then put it on my heart to make a prayer request shirt! Again, my favorite place to wear it is when I go grocery shopping. I am always surprised to see how many people come & ask me to pray for them. It is truly a wonderful feeling to know you’re being used by God to reach others.
