Haven't heard of the 30 Days of Kindness?  Click here to find out more.  Just starting?  That's okay!  Feel free to start this challenge right in the middle.  You can make up the days you missed through November, if you like.

Write an encouraging note to a friend.  This challenge may seem nerve-wracking to some and incredibly easy to others.  I want you to choose a good friend of yours who is going through a difficult time or could use an encouragement, and I would like you to write them a little note of encouragement.

Your note could be a sentence long.  It could be "I've just been thinking about you" or "I'm praying for you."  It could be a few paragraphs long.  You could share verses or talk about memories between the two of you.  Whatever you decide to include in the note is up to you.

After you write the note, I want you to stick it in your friend's locker at school, in their mailbox, on their car windshield, under their bedroom door.  You can even hand it to them personally.  You don't have to sign your name, but I would prefer if you did, because in many cases, a friend is most encouraged by another friend.  However, if you believe an anonymous note would be the most encouraging thing in your friend's situation, you do not have to sign your name.

I want to hear your stories!  Leave me a comment and share what you did during today's challenge.  If you have a picture or two, feel free to send them to me.  If you're blogging about today, send me the link and I'll feature it on this blog.

Stay tuned until later today to see what my friends and I did for today's act of kindness.

TOMORROW: Compliment 10 people!
