I'm starting this radical kindness challenge because I want to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I want to live out faith, not so much religion. Any suggestions? I have to get back to simplicity
Just last night as I was reading, this phrase stayed with me. "Love others more than you love yourself." That's pretty simple . . . it puts our flesh (selfishness) at the back of the line where it belongs :) If we are doing that, I think we will experience joy in abundance. "Joy" a gift of the spirit and a gift directly from our Lord. God bless you, Connie :)
i love the idea and have done it at times, leaving a card with inspiration thoughts or sketches ...somewhere along where you shop...if it's in a bookstore, then tucked into a book. I really enjoyed doing that and hoped that it would bring a smile to someone's face. Forgiveness is a huge element of LOVE that Jesus taught. Forgiveness not only of others which helps but towards ourselves. Forgiveness daily and choosing peace daily brings amazing peace. Spreading that peace...great.
I agree. Most organized religion things don't work so well for me. The idea is faith. Kindness, spirituality, giving. Doing unto others. I look forward to this.
You all ready are, Rue, with you posts each day---uplifting and interesting---reaching out and touching people's lives in a positive way. VERY refreshing in these negative times!
I love how simple this is if we just let it be, we all know what we need to do but I guess we over think it! Simplicity, beautiful, you’re an inspiration!
Just pray about and do what He leads you to do. Simple things. Put the grocery cart back. :)

Send a Thinking of You card to someone at church
ReplyDeletePick up a few nonperishable groceries and leave them on a friend's doorstep. If possible do this anonymously.
