Tis Better to Give than to Receive.

I enjoy reading blog. Sometimes I'll stumble upon one that really intrigues me. As I was reading one of the blogs I subscribe to she posted a link to this: Light 'Em Up!

While I don't really have a group, I'm going to participate in my own way. If you didn't click the link, it's basically a challenge to do random acts of kindness.

The interesting this is that after the incident at JCPenny yesterday with the angry customer, it made me think later on that I should have done something nice for the photographer! I did give her a great review on Facebook, but I just really felt for her. Then when I got home I read about "Light 'Em Up" and I've felt compelled ever since.

So...from now until Christmas I'm going to work hard at lighting up the days of other people with kindness and love. It's all too easy to get mad and frustrated. Especially at this time of year...when it's supposed to be the happiest time!

The author of the blog has a huge list of ideas of things that you can do and even fun tags you can print out and attach!  I sat down and wrote out part of a list today and I'm pretty excited!

I know that I worry about money a lot, and I know I don't have to spend a lot, but I realize how much I waste on buying junk food for myself during the week. If I just cut some of that out, it'll give me the extra cash I need to brighten other's days!

Daniel is still too young to get the concept, but I still want to get him involved. Maybe this could even turn into a family tradition.

Sometimes I lose focus of the important things in life. What better way to remember Jesus' and honor him than by showing other people his love?
