We have been enjoying our days of schooling with the doors and windows open, laundry hanging outside and the coconut oil in my pantry is getting easier to scoop out!
With that, people are moving about, that means some homeless people are setting up their dwellings outdoors and some shelters are no longer available.
For the past two years I have been trudging coffee and water to people under a bridge in our old community on Sundays. This year we are in a new city and we are looking for bridges, streets, wherever to share coffee and water with others. Now that the kids are a little older they will be joining us on our excursions.
Saturdays we plan on helping the elderly and those who are finding it difficult to take care of their yards clean up and maintain flower beds. Sundays we plan on handing out water at parks on hot days, sharing coffee's with others and my favorite? handing out t shirt bags at the grocery store. A simple gesture to a neighbour but also to our environment. AND IT'S EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know weekend's are sacred to some, or just too busy for others so we would like to challenge you to a 15 minute challenge.
One time a day leave fifteen minutes early with the intention to bless someone.
- leave fifteen minutes early for work and grab coffee's for co workers once a week.
- leave fifteen minutes early for church and swing by another members home to help wrangle children or meet them at church to get them to where they need to be.
- leave fifteen minutes early for your child's dance class and bring the teacher FANCY water.. hehe.
- Or take fifteen minutes to write a thank you note, email or whatever to someone who made an impact on you that week.
- pay for someone on the bus
- pack the groceries for the lady behind you (you have time!)
- read a story to a child at the doctors office
Enjoy your spring!
