random acts of kindness.....


The city that I live in has challenged it's residents to give back....with a twist. Random Acts of Kindness. The town as a whole it is give 1,000 random acts of kindness in a months time. We even made on local tv! :) Once our challenge is complete our mayor is challenging other cities to beat us! And really, for a town of our size (a population of 23,000) this should have been no problem. {I'll keep you posted if we make it!}
It really got me thinking when was the last time I did something nice for a stranger just because? I really wanted to embrace this idea and teach my son that giving is far better then receiving. But how? Where do I start? Does it always have to involve money? Although our cities challenge is almost over...I am challenging our family. So here is our challenge...100 random acts of kindness by June 11th (our last day of school). I hope the three of us can make it! Wish us luck....can your family "beat" us??? Let me know!
