Ten Acts of Kindness in Ten Days

Dear Readers, have you ever been randomly complimented by a stranger? Perhaps they said they liked your outfit or complimented your smile? Well I know for sure that when this has happened to me, it has made my day! With that being said, I have been thinking a lot about random acts of kindness and how sometimes we as people get so busy and caught up in our busy days, that we forget to be kind to others! We never know the full story of our neighbor unless we ask, we never know the reason someone is sad unless we ask, but we can be the reason someone smiles because of something nice that we do! This week I have compiled a list of ten things that we can do to show others around us that we love and appreciate them. I would like to challenge all of us to do ten things in ten days and I will list below some ideas and prompts that could be helpful to you! So, let’s get right into it!

1. Hand written note-  write a note and leave it somewhere where your friend will find it. Include some encouragements and some things about them that you admire or appreciate about them. 
2. Flowers - buy or pick some flowers and bring them to someone significant in your life! (mom? sister? wife? mentor?)
3. Pay it forward- pay for the person’s coffee behind you in the queue! 
4. Compliment a stranger - it can be their outfit or their smile or anything really! 
5. Call- call or face time a friend who you haven't  spoken to in a while, you’re do for a catch up!
6. Gift card- buy a gift card from your local supermarket and give it to someone who needs it 
7. Write a Review- write a positive review for one of your favorite cafes or local businesses!
8. You first- Hold the door open for someone
9. Helping hand- ask one of your friends if there is anything that they need help with, and then go do it for them, or do it with them
10. Pray- choose a friend to commit to praying for in these ten days, or pick a different friend each day for ten days! 

​I challenge you, as the reader, to these ten random acts of kindness! Let’s be people who love people well, and let's have a good time doing this!
Ready, set, go..!!
As always,
love from TMPC
