RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY!!!

i wrote this for my group page in Relief Society Sisters Page- but thought I'd cut and paste it into my blog here too today :) cos I guess it can apply to not just the sisters but to any of us ...male or female :)....

Random act of Kindness Day!!!! (i just declared it :)




I am not sure that we are meant to get through this life smooth sailing and all by ourselves 'just managing'...I think that we are 'meant to' be there for each other AND NOT WAIT TO BE ASKED!!!Sisters I ask you, who do you know that would LOVE to be surprised by you arriving on their door step tonight with a cooked dinner for them after a busy week, who do you know that may not be on your visiting teaching list that you could ring and just say hello to because they mean so much to you, maybe you know a couple with children who might have forgotten what it is like to have a date night-who can't baby sit. And biscuits sisters....who can you make a plate of biscuits for??I have never seen a busy mum decline such gifts of love. In an effort to teach my boys about service one day we took afternoon tea over to a ladies house....they had a bag full of cleaning gear...while washing their hands in the bathroom they locked the door and scrubbed what was already a very clean bath. Leaving nothing behind but a single chocolate rose to surprise this lady. This lady has terrible back pain (often) and although my boys couldn't change her back pain - her spirit was lifted by their little effort of a random act of kindness. Neadless to mention they had fun with rubber gloves for weeks in our own showers at home cleaning :) I think that it is through small acts of kindness (at random) that we lift each other and invite the "Spirit" not only into our life but also into the lives of those around us. So get your gloves on for cooking or cleaning etc and have fun. You might be surprised at the reaction. ps get out the ward phone bk....and pick someone who you would never ever ordinarily go or mix with!!! Love ya..hey and post how it went (no names :)And don't forget you can plan even more fun things for you Random acts of Kindness Day :) next week and the week after....be like Christ – Just do it!


"When you are in the service of each other...you are in the service of the Lord "..... what a great way to prepare for Easter.
