Issuing a Challenge

Welcome to the first of what I am hoping will become one of many for this blog. This blog was designed for one purpose in mind, and that is to do Acts of Random Kindness for God. Each day we will be focusing on heartfelt ideas or stories behind teaching the love of Jesus through the every day acts of kindness towards one another.

This blog was designed to encourage, to motivate and to create such an inspiration to each of you that in turn you will go out and share acts of random kindness to others. I am hoping to encourage each of you to take up this challenge daily and make it a point of truly making someone's day. It can be a family member, a friend, a work colleague, or even a perfect stranger. The point is to reach out in the smallest of ways to do something with nothing expected in return.

This blog is created with that very purpose in mind. I will be sharing videos, inspirational quotes, ideas, and more in hopes of teaching you all just how powerful and life changing it can be for all of us.

I would encourage you to not only join up by becoming a follower, but also to post here daily what you did, how you got involved and what a difference it made for you but also for others as well. In doing so, I am hoping that it will make a difference in the everydays for people. Please let me know via email if you are having issues with becoming a follower. I had one email today where someone wasn't getting the prompt to follow.

This isn't about bragging about what you did, but sharing how small acts of random kindness can make a difference and encourage others to do the same.

Here is your tip for today: Help someone with a flat tire. Call for Roadside Assistance if necessary!

I leave you with a video from Foundation for a Better Life that is hosting lots of these commercials you have seen on TV. I hope it has the same affect on you that it did for me.

  3. Great idea here sister Kat! Like what you said, it's not about bragging about our actions but I think it will truly serve as an encouragement for all of us. Can't wait to hear about all these acts of kindness, all for the Lord's glory! God bless you.

  4. Rosel,

    I think that each time we post here about whatever we tend to do, it will act as an encouragement rather than a brag, that everyone can contribute in some small way. My youngest daughter told me that today she gave her cookie from her school lunch to the office administrator for helping her. Made both of their days!

    Love and Hugs ~ Kat

  7. Awesome! Sounds like you and I think alot alike Kat! "Passing on the encouragement" through Act of Kindness will change the world! My grandparents who raised me gave me the wings of encouragement that changed my life. Passing it on really makes a difference, even when we don't see it with our own eyes at first!
    Oh, and that video made me tear up!

    Congratulations on you new blog!

  11. Great thing to remind each other to look for and keep our eyes open for the ways we can interupt each others lives with Hiz motives.

    Maybe to balance things, we can journal how our own lives have been impact by others acts of kindness which now doubt, would grow gratitude in our own lives as well.
