Day 29: Give away five dollar bills

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.

Give away five dollar bills.  I'll go ahead and give some leniency here.  You can give away a five dollar bill to someone who money.jpgneeds it, but I'd preferably like you to give away five individual bills.  Give them to people or leave them in random locations.

Your dollar bill may find its way into the hands of someone who needs it.

And what makes someone's day more than finding a random dollar bill?  It's fun and a surprise of sorts.  Even though a dollar isn't much... even though five dollars isn't much... it's still a gesture of kindness and something that will make the days of five different people today.

Don't let your greed prevent you from completing this challenge! 

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.

I'm currently out of town visiting A&M, so I'll try to post today's story tomorrow or the next day for you to read about.

TOMORROW: Buy someone a thoughtful gift!

Day 28: Pray over someone you don't know

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.

Pray over someone you don't know. 
This challenge probably scares me the most.  Praying over people always makes pray.jpgme feel nervous and hesitant and timid and awkward.  It may make you feel the same way.  If so, don't be afraid to get a friend to pray over a stranger with you.  A friend can be your support and fellowship.

When I say "pray over someone you don't know", this can mean a stranger that you've never met in your life.  This can mean the quiet girl with no friends at school that you've seen a few times.  This could even mean a teacher that you aren't very close to, but you can tell she's having a difficult day.  Let God lead you to the person He wants you to pray for.  Most importantly, don't let your fear keep you from fulfilling this challenge.

For many people- even people who aren't Christians- having someone come up and say, "Can I pray for you?" will definitely make their day.  It's an encouragement.  It's proof that somebody out there cares. 

You'll also be a great witness for God.

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.

I'll be gone today on a Senior retreat with my classmates... and then traveling to go look at the A&M campus (possible college choice?).  I'll post today's story tomorrow or the next day for you to read about.

TOMORROW: Give away five dollar bills!
