RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS....

i've been thinking lately about RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS and perhaps i should implement some into my life & carry them out. i am forever preaching to my children..."do unto others as you would want done unto you" and "what goes around, comes around" etc...and something else that i would like to add & sort of reinforces today's BLOG is "rachel's challenge"....something that is going on at my 2 older girl's school...to learn more about rachel, just click on: "rachel's challenge" .
i guess i would like to keep a "running tab" (in case you haven't realized yet..i LOVE making lists!) on the RAK that i have heard of or RAK that i have carried out... and i welcome anyone's suggestions...

*if you're outside & picking up your newspaper from the bottom of your driveway (this is especially nice to do in the cold & snowy months), why not go to your neighbors & deliver their paper to their door?

*when your neighbor's garbage pails are in the middle of the road from the wind...why not just stop & carry them to the side of their house?

  1. Oh I love to help people with their shopping carts - going in the store or when they've just finished loading their groceries. Ya have to be careful though and not sneak up on someone and get pepper sprayed!
    Your idea is a great one and wonderful to model to your offspring. Also, you never know when someone you help might just need that little bit of kindness to lighten their otherwise heavy burden. Jolly good idea.
