28 Ways

Homeless Shelter & Women's Shelter

Call your local shelter and see what is their greatest need.

Offer to help make a meal or wash dishes.

Take your donation clothes to the shelter.

Rather than shying away, share a smile and a kind word with someone.

Give donations to the homeless shelter to help build them up as a useful resource.

Volunteer at your local shelter- find a day that works for you.

Keep a supply of "ready-to-go" bags with supplies in your car to give to people you see on the street or at the shelter.

Do You Need A Course Adjustment?



What  have you done to reach out and help someone today?  How about in the past week?  If you can't answer, it may be time to make some adjustments in your life. 

Life is about helping others, giving, and caring about others.  

Don't let the hardness of some people's hearts keep you from being kind, compassionate, and giving.  Model kindness and love to others, stand out, stand up, and show you care.

Take time to look in people's eyes, listen to their story, and stop long enough to care. You can make a difference if you look around, be aware, and do something to change the world for the better.  It truly does matter.

Little Acts Of Kindness, Bring Big Smiles To Others


Random Acts of Kindness idea:  Send a note and $5 gift card from your favorite coffee place to someone who needs a thank you, a pick me up, a word of encouragement. 

Pay for the person behind you at a drive thru.  

Little things bring big smiles to others faces.

Random Acts Of Kindness







When is the last time you did a random act of kindness? It will not only bless those you give to, but it will bless you. Involve your kids, grandkids, neighbor kids, nieces, nephews, friends and teach kids about kindness & unselfish giving while you do this. 



I am issuing a challenge for the rest of the summer, approximately 13 weeks, to think of RAOK (random acts of kindness) and to implement at least one a week. I will post some ideas, please join me in posting your ideas & results.

What's Your Focal Point?



If God answered all your prayers, would the world look different, or would just your life look different? 

We change the world a little at a time by taking the focus off ourselves, and caring for and helping others.

What Are Your Motives?



What are your motives for doing things for others?  Is it so you get the credit, or is to to serve, not expecting anything in return?  






We all have a choice on whether we take all the glory for ourselves, or are humble and give God the glory.  We have a choice on whether we like to point out how great we are, and what we do, or if we serve others quietly, and let God be the center of our serving.
