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.
Today is my birthday, so share another kind gesture and wish me happy birthday! I turn eighteen years old today, so it's a big'un.
Another big day for us challenge-accepters. We've been going at this for two weeks now! We're halfway through! How has your experience been so far?
Personally encourage a friend. You may feel a little intimidated by this challenge, but don't let it get you down. I want you to go to a friend who may be struggling or who needs an encouragement, and encourage them. You don't need to carry on for an hour, but I want you to give more than a little compliment.
Perhaps you should pull aside your friend and say something to the affect of, "Hey, I know you've been struggling lately. I just wanted to let you know that I've been praying for you to have courage lately. I hope life has been getting better for you." Speak sincerely. Imagine how much your words will encourage your friend. This will truly let him or her know that you care and that you've been thinking about them.
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: Take someone out for coffee/ice cream!
