In a heartbeat, everything about your life can change.
In a heartbeat, YOU can change a life! Even the smallest things can have big impacts! We've got the weekend ahead of us, and what if we all stopped a minute to think. What can you do to impact others this weekend? Will you help an elderly person load their groceries into their trunk? Will you drop your change from your fast food order into a donation bucket for Ronald McDonald Houses? Will you pay it forward at Starbucks and purchase the order for the car waiting in line behind you? Will you donate gently used clothing to Goodwill or to a crisis shelter? Will you volunteer your time in some way?
Let's have some fun with this. Come Monday, report back. What did you do?
I've been looking all over for an opportunity so that I could report back! Well, it came in the mail yesterday. Since I sponsor a little boy in Equador through Children International, they sent me information yesterday wondering if I could sponsor one of their "Children on the Edge." These are children who either have lost both parents, sleep on a dirt floor, or who living in a home with no running water, electricity or toilet - basically children who are in danger of slipping into an abyss from which they can't return. So, I'm going to sponsor another child.
ReplyDeleteUm, I planted trees? For myself? That totally doesn't count, does it? I vow to do something totally unselfishly good this week!
ReplyDeleteI did a couple of things - first I forwarded the pictures of my son Drew, a neuroblastoma survivor, Jack and Laurie from the shave off to friends and family and told them about Jack! He now has church congragations praying for him all over the world!!! Second, I paid for my YUCKY ice soy milk at starbucks $3.25 & had them keep the change and use it till it ran out. Should have paid for several cars even at starbucks!!!! Thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI am going to set up a fundraiser in Jacks name tonight and everyone that orders under his fundraiser I will donate 15% of all sales up to $1000.00 if sale go beyond that I will donate 20% of all sales. So anyone that needs a gift for mothers day, birthday, ect. send them my way. Also part of our sales go to the Spiegel Burn Foundation. Please let me know if I can volunteer in any other way. Let help Jack get better. Your in my prayers.
