I was surprised last night by a Secret Santa visit. We had a need of something, and someone found out and left it at our home.
I know of several other people in recent days who have also been shown the same kind of love and charity.
I know it should be a feeling we have all year long, but the best way to start is one step and one day at a time.
So, my challenge to you is to find someone every day you can serve or give to in some way. It doesn't have to cost money or take a lot of time. It can be anything.
A smile at a grouchy store clerk along with a friendly 'Hello' can be all it takes to change their day. Opening the door for someone behind you, or paying for the meal of the person behind you in the drive-thru (I have done that a couple of times and it rocks!)
When you make homemade goodies, share some with neighbors, the elderly, or homebound. Call a friend or loved one you haven't talked to for a while. Send a card anonymously to someone who is grieving or struggling with challenges. Rake someone's leaves or shovel their snow (anonymously).
It can be anything for anyone. Just do SOMETHING.
Then let us know what it has been like for you to undertake the challenge. Please also share any ideas and tips you have for things others can do as part of this challenge.
Good luck and thanks for participating!
If you are too shy to post it here, but would like to share, privately send me your story or tips/ideas and I will post them, minus your name.
