Thanks for visiting Lysa's blog - she took a serious leap of faith by letting me guest blog today! As her assistant, running partner, and traveling companion, I'm also very thankful to call her a friend.
There are lots of things I love. In addition to the obvious - family, friends, meaningful conversations, eating, running, and eating some more, I also love random acts of kindness. Not only doing them, but I must admit I thoroughly enjoy receiving them as well!
Hmmm...can I even recall the last time I performed a simple random act of kindness for someone?
I know that Jesus asks us to do these in secret...so...let's think about those sweet times someone randomly did something special for us.
Oh how these seemingly small tasks have touched me more than I could ever fairly express.
I've had friends randomly:
buy me a book
call me just to say 'hi', and then do it again the next day
watch my kids, and love them as their own
bake me banana bread
listen to me ramble
help me organize my house
AND... I even had one friend who told me that I was gorgeous in a birthday card. That's all she wrote - 'Holly, you are gorgeous'. Her random act of kindness through her written words resonated in my heart for months. Months I tell you! Imagine that. I am gorgeous! That was back in September, and I'm still feeling gorgeous!
So why wait. I think that today is a good day for us to do something very random and very kind.
For someone.
For anyone.
Just because.
It's the perfect way to spread the light and love of Jesus.
Will you join me blogging friends?
