<br />
This post is going to be short and is just to remind each of you to be thankful on today. If for no other reason than you have breathe in your body, food in the frig, and someplace to lay your head. Be mindful as long as you have the opportunity to live another day than even the things that are going wrong can once again fall back into place.<br />
<br />
Be thankful on today.<br />
<br />
Today is Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday let us also be thankful that it was men and women like him who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the equality of all. The battle has not been completely won but lets praise God for the small victories we have won since the Civil Rights Movement began.<br />
<br />
Be blessed on today and remember be THANKFUL!</div>His First Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12023934708368532922noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011701117557122794.post-26576094831821542182012-01-13T17:06:00.001-08:002012-01-13T17:06:57.437-08:00Have you visited Komplete today?

<br />
<br />
<br />
Let’s RACK (Random Acts of Christmas Kindness) those around us! <br />
<br />
I love each of you and I am wishing you God’s best.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>December 12, 2011- Day 1- (We will start simple)</strong><br />
<br />
Today do not just pass the homeless person on the street, if they are there with a sign give them SOMETHING and a kind word. If you do not encounter a homeless person on the street give to the Salvation Army bell ringers somewhere today.<br />
<br />
<strong>December 13, 2011 Day 2</strong><br />
<br />
Call a local nursing home; ask if they have one person there with no family this holiday season. Ask them one thing that person needs or desires. Purchase the one item and have it at the nursing home by December 24th. Advise the staff you do not have to see the person or invade their space and if necessary you can just give the gift to the staff and they can deliver to the person.<br />
<br />
<strong>December 14, 2011 Day 3</strong><br />
<br />
Speak with your pastor and ask if he is aware of a family that is in need this holiday season. If he is purchase a gift card of at least $10 from a chain store (Wal-Mart or Target for example) and give to your pastor to give to them. Ask that he do so anonymously, you do not need the glory and the person does not need to know. <br />
<br />
If you do not know of anyone in your congregation there is someone in our congregation that could use the help, please contact me for details.<br />
<br />
<strong>December 15, 2011 Day 4</strong><br />
<br />
This time of year several students in schools begin to run low on pencils, Kleenex, and other necessary supplies. Purchase a few packages of pencils or a few boxes of Kleenex and take to a local school. <br />
<br />
<strong>December 16, 2011 Day 5</strong><br />
<br />
Call a local homeless shelter, food kitchen, or group home ask them one item they are in need of this holiday season, purchase a few of those items and deliver by December 24th. <br />
<br />
<strong>December 17, 2011-Day 6</strong><br />
<br />
Become a people watcher today while you are out and about. Today pay attention to those around you and use discernment to help someone who is in need.<br />
<br />
<strong>December 18, 2011-Day 7</strong><br />
<br />
Think of a neighbor or coworker that you never talk to or rarely encounter, purchase that person a Christmas card. Give it to the first person that comes to mind, more than likely that is the person who needs it.<br />
<br />
<strong>December 19, 2011-Day 8</strong><br />
<br />
Call a local children’s hospital and see what the children’s ICU or those children who are there long term would like. <br />
<br />
For example Women & Children’s Hospital in Columbia has Wii’s so they needed extra remotes so that children could play with their family members and requested movies for their library.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>December 20, 2011-Day 9</strong><br />
<br />
Purchase a several can goods and return to a bin that is having a can food drive. This time of year several grocery stores have the Harvesters bins.<br />
<br />
<strong>December 21 2011-Day 10</strong><br />
<br />
Send a text, you do it everyday anyway but this time it will donate to a worthy cause., the charge will be added to your monthly bill. Donations range between $5-$10.00. Pick one from the list below:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">-Text “REDCROSS” to 90999 to give $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">-Text “KOMEN” to 90999 to give $10 Susan G. Komen for the Cure</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">-Text “ALIVE” to 90999 to donate $5 to Keep A Child Alive an organization that provides medicine to HIV and AIDS-inflicted families in Africa and India.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>December 22 2011-Day 11</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Do something for your mailman. Leave a small note of thanks and possibly a treat or small gift for your mailman. He may not need the money but he may need to know he is appreciated, especially during this time of year.<br />
<br />
<strong>December 23 2011-Day 12</strong><br />
<br />
Today is the last day. Purchase a gift card of any amount at any store and give it to the person immediately behind you in line. <br />
<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ability to forgive and be forgiven!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have been forgiven by friends and family but more importantly we have been forgiven by God!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think of all things you have done that others would say you were not worthy of forgiveness for <u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">BUT</span></u> God saw fit to not only forgive us but afford us with new mercies the next day and the day after.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Show gratitude not only for being forgiven but for your ability to forgive. If you have grudges you are holding let go, let God, and walk into the things God has for you!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's show gratitude for forgiveness today and while doing so reflect on the following scriptures:</span><br />

And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.</span></span><br />

<br />
Can you believe that this 30 day challenge is more than half-way over? In the midst of it all I have found myself giving thanks for all the things that <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><u>REALLY</u></span></b> matter!<br />
<br />
Today lets show gratitude for laughter. I know it seems pretty simple but just remember all the times when in the midst of your tears that your laughter or someone else's brightened your day.<br />
<br />
As a mother one of the best gifts I have had the opportunity of experiencing is the laughter of my children. It is something about it that lets me know that everything will be ok.<br />
<br />
Sometimes laughter is the rainbow after the storm, it is a reminder that no matter what may be going on in life there is still <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b><u>SOMETHING</u></b></span> worth laughing about, smiling about, and appreciating. </div>His First Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12023934708368532922noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011701117557122794.post-75458338258504153352011-09-06T19:42:00.001-07:002011-09-06T19:42:41.907-07:00Today show gratitude for memories.
