Remember this post about the 19 random acts of kindness for John?
Well, I’ve done 5 so far.
1. a farewell gift for someone who worked at the same company I work at. We are not close and I just wanted to do something nice for her.
I bought these little pads in Malaysia in 2006 and I ration myself because I want them to last as long as possible. Why didn’t I buy more?!
Can you see? Around the edge it says “work, play, dream, may your dreams come true”. It seemed very “me” at the time.
2. a birthday gift for another work person – I know she loves travel like I do so I got her a photo album and frame for her desk
3. a lovely note and notebook for a friend, sent through the normal mail to brighten their day
4. a care package for another friend, also sent through the mail (don’t you love nice things in the mail instead of bills???)
5. my copy of the Reluctant Entertainer is going to Laura (it’s ready to be posted but we’re actually going to try and meet up when I go on holiday later this month
6. it was my boss’s birthday this week and we pass around a card and write messages. I usually write the first thing that comes to mind. This time I really thought about it and finally I wrote something that I thought he would like, but that also is typical me. And… he LOVED my message (a Dr Seuss quote).
I’m asking God daily to show me opportunities to do my random acts of kindness and He’s coming through.
So look out, you could be next!
Even if you don’t want to do 19, I would love it if you’d join me in doing just one random act over the next few days.
Will you do that?
To inspire me and the other readers, please share some random acts of kindness done by you or someone else.
PS I’m so proud of my little button. I’m no designer but look, I made my own little doodad 😉
PPS Does anyone know how to upload more than 1 photo at a time in WordPress? It’s taking me sweet forever to blog!
Hi Marcia!
Fun to see my name in print! I sure hope it will work you meet up, that would be fun! Do you know White River? I don’t exactly think that’s mid-way, I think it would be closer to me in Nelspruit. Do you know somewhere that’s mid-way?
Great acts of kindness!
OS: What doodad are you refering to? I don’t see a “button” on your apge?
Love your doodad!
Such cool acts. Has anyone ever told you that you have a lovely handwriting? I always notice things like that. Only because my handwriting is shocking! I should probably have gone for OT or something when I was at school.
Am going to do this as well. Must list some ideas for acts of kindness.x
Julia, you are the first! And thanks 🙂 The pen definitely helps – it is a gorgeous pink gel pen from Pilot (no I’m not getting commission)
