Random Acts of Kindness

At camp last week the youth were encouraged to do "random acts of kindness". While not a new idea to me, it was something that I've been thinking allot about. Especially after we got home and discovered that we had been the recipient of a very very nice "random act of kindness". Before we left, we were not able to mow our yard for several days due to so much rain. So, we knew that when we got home it would be a hayfield for sure. We pulled into our driveway, however, and found that our yard was beautifully mowed. And let me tell you.... we have a big big yard with lots of "things" that need to be moved (and put back) while mowing. Whoever had done the yard had done an exceptional job. We figured it was someone from our church (2 specific people came to mind immediately) but no one knew anything about it. We were stumped. Finally on Tuesday this week, we discovered that our next door neighbor had seen that it was really high and knew that we were away so he mowed it for us. Wasn't that sweet?!!!! I made he and his wife a peanut butter pie to show them how much we appreciated it - while I do love peanut butter pie - we definitely got the better end of the deal!!! LOL

Then yesterday, once again we were the grateful recipients of a fun "random act of kindness".... Grandma Ilene and Grandpa George go to our church. They are also neighbors of ours. She called yesterday afternoon and invited us up to their house for ice cream cones. What fun!!!! We had a great time fellowshipping and enjoying ice cream together.

We are so blessed.

My challenge to you.... try to perform 2 "Random Acts of Kindness" this week!!!
