Text a friend just to say “hi, I’m thinking of you”.

After contemplating your Nov. 30 post (about not dumping my expectations in my family’s lap), what really stands out to me here is that these are ways I personally can choose to give of myself, from my heart, to share love….NOT these are ways I can rope my family into more good deeds! : )

Love your ideas Sandy!! To show some love to others can be so simple! We are doing some “small gifts” for others with our kiddos this holiday season. A couple include: having the kids make Christmas cards to send to our troops and taking a box of doggie treats to the Humane Society :)

wonderful, Sandy – this list gives me some great ideas … I’m going to linclude some money in some of the kids’ Advent doors with some suggestions on how they might use it – ultimately they get to decide, but it will start a fun conversation

LOVE this. So very important to do the *little things*. We often have no idea how big the ring of warmth from our thoughtful actions will travel.

And it’s been my experience that they do indeed travel far & wide.

I’m a big fan of leaving little packages of cheer, even just a handmade card, on friends/neighbors doorsteps.

Love these simple ideas that could mean so much to someone else! Another popular one I have heard of is buying the person behind you in line their coffee in the morning. It really is the little things.

I’ve been trying to think of special things like this to do today, as it is my birthday! I love it as it is also the start of this festive season. Thanks for the idea of doing one thing a day through the month — ABSOLUTELY! I had already scheduled some such things into my daughter’s Activity Advent calendar — like going shopping for food specifically to donate to the food bank, buying pet food to donate to the animal shelter, etc. I shall have to enlist her help in coming up with more. Thanks!

What o lovely idea. My sweet son does things like this often…especially when it comes to helping elderly folks at the grocery store. Something we do as a family this time of year is to take a pair of new tube socks and put one inside the other, then fill it with some goodies…a granola bar, a bottle of water, a dollar, a holy card, and a hand written note. Then we pass these out to homeless people we meet along the roadside.

Love,

Mary
