It’s things like this weekend that make me feel more of myself and truly happy. I didn’t organize it, I didn’t set it up, very little effort was required on my part.
But it had me thinking of how being a part of it makes me feel more alive, hopeful, here for a purpose… and I want more.
We do have a lot of opportunities to help others, within our church and among our friends… I think there is a difference in feeling when you do convenient kindness for others (like a mother tirelessly helping her children all day) and then inconvenient kindness. The last kind feels bold, exciting, even a little bit scary, in the best way.
So our family is going to start a new project together. We’re calling it RANDOM ACTS.
We are really inspired by many people we know who already do a lot of this from a day to day .
And by this man and his message.
By this book.
By this foundation.
We won’t post all the things that we will be doing, but I hope you won’t mind if we share some as a motivation for ourselves.
