Random Kindness

Ever do "Random Acts of Kindness?" I was searching for ideas and I found so many websites. Below are some of the ideas I came across and really liked. I am praying that these inspire you too. :) If you have any of your own, I hope you'll comment and share!

• Leave a bouquet at the hospital — the nurses will know who needs it the most.
• If you are in a long line, invite the person behind you to go first.
• Shower the pediatric wing of a hospital with $1 coloring books and $2 boxes of new crayons.
• Hang a sign on a bulletin board that says "Take What You Need" — with tear-off tabs at the bottom for Love, Hope, Faith, and Courage. (love this!)
• Bring courtesy back in an instant: Hold the door open with a flourish. haha
• Drop off combs, toothbrushes, and toothpaste at a shelter or a soup kitchen.
• Curb road rage: Let other cars merge onto the highway.
• Leave your neighbors a note that tells them how much joy you find in admiring their garden.
• Send a thank-you note to the brave officers at your local police or fire station.
• Arrange to pay anonymously for a soldier's meal when you see him or her dining alone.
• Slip a $20 gas card or public-transportation pass into someones shopping bag.
• Sing an employee's praises to a manager on a comment card - a little recognition goes a long way.
• Leave a copy of a book you love, with a note for the next reader, on the train or the bus.
• Load extra change into the vending machine to buy the next person a Coke or tape a few bucks to a vending machine to make someone’s day!
• Relay an overheard compliment.
• Bring pennies to a water fountain and give them to anyone who wants a free wish!
• Deliver cards, balloons and crossword puzzles anonymously to residents of a nursing home who don’t have frequent visitors. Also, pop in and visit with someone there sometime to lift their spirits.

Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
