“Complete A Random Act of Kindness”
Today’s Challenge is to complete a Random Act of Kindness. This is really great. For those who haven’t seen the film “Evan Almighty”, starring Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman, put this movie on your schedule for Lent this year. It’s a beautiful, funny, inspiring, and clean film about a rookie congressman whom God called to build an ark.
Our Challenge today is to do something nice for someone else. Instead of pulling pranks on one another this April “Fool’s Day”, today is the perfect opportunity to do something genuine. We don’t need to know the recipient of our Kind Act, although it’s fine if we do know them.
Some ideas of a Random Act of Kindness are to pay it forward if we are in the coffee shop today. Maybe we can call and check in with someone who needs a little light in their day. We can also help someone in the grocery store or give an extra tip to our wait staff. Or maybe we do something nice for our mail carrier or collect nonperishable food for our food pantry.
Yeah, if we take a few minutes, we can discover plenty of opportunities to complete a Random Act of Kindness, and it doesn’t always have to include a Bible lesson. It’s perfectly fine to do something good just for the sake of caring for each other. Sometimes, the smallest little thing can make all the difference in the world.
We matter. The people we encounter today matter. Let’s find a way to bless one another by completing a Random Act of Kindness this week!
“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.” (1 John 3:18, NLT)
