Not So Random Kindness

Today’s challenge is a 6/10.

It’s not hard, but it will require a little bit of thought and effort.

It’s this: perform at least one act of generous kindness.

Now, I know, the first thought that comes to your mind is probably, “Oh, they want me to pay for a stranger’s coffee at Starbucks.”

And you can, that’s fine.

But in order to maximize the hope, I encourage you to think beyond that. Take a couple of minutes and dream up some ways you can really care for someone- whether you choose to bless a stranger or someone in your life!

Can you say an encouraging word?
Pray with someone who’s struggling?
Buy them a gift card and write them a note?
Offer to buy dinner and bring it over, or watch the kids while they go out?
Go over and above for someone who’s normally overlooked, like a server at a restaurant?

Make your plan, carve out the time to give your money and/or attention, and let’s shower our community with not so random acts of generosity today!
