Ok, I have to admit it...I LOVE celebrating my birthday! I don't want to skip it because it means another year older. I still have ONE YEAR left in my 30's...maybe next year I'll feel differently. (?)
Sooooooo, THIS YEAR I want to celebrate it by sharing a gift with someone else! Yes, a little giveaway of sorts--because isn't that what EVERY good blogger does? LOL! (and the term "blogger" is used loosly--as you notice, I haven't posted on this blog for a year now!!! And look at the old profile pic that I haven't updated for a LONG time!)
Anyway, I'm trying to think of ways to pay it forward OR figure out how to go about some random acts of kindness. This is truly something I want to instill in my girls. BLESSING others for no reason....picking out those that might get overlooked....doing something for someone "just because".....it's actually a fun project and one that will make US feel like the blessed ones for sure. My nephews are getting on board too and we're forming a little club to go about putting our ideas into action!
Now WHY am I saying all of this on my little bloggie??? This is where you come in. Leave a comment on here, or on FB with an idea (be it big or small) of a way to make the day BETTER for someone else. One thought I've had is to bake cookies/cupcakes/something! for the fire department. They serve and put their lives at stake for us and we need to thank them! That is just an example to throw out to you to get your creative inspiration going. Let me know what you're thinking. I'll take all the ideas and suggestions you throw my way and R.A.N.D.O.M.L.Y draw a name for my giveaway! It's a WIN-WIN! I'll get super ideas...AND the pleasure of doing something special for one of you!!!!
Have you ever been blessed by someone else "just because"? Years ago (before I was married) I was given a gift of a LOAD of money. (I think it was $800!!!) And it was anonymous! Yep--something I know the Lord saw, but they didn't reveal themselves to me. I've also participated in our secret sister deal at church and had fun doing things--and having things done for me--throughout the year "secretly". Isn't it fun to bless--and be blessed? Just as the Bible says how it IS more blessed to give than to receive. All this to say--that RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS will not only encourage the heart of others, but bring joy to our own hearts.
"As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men....." Gal. 6:10
