Failure & Another Try

You probably don't remember my post last year about doing an act of kindness for 37 days as a gift to Jesus for his birthday. And I know you don't remember the follow-up post in which I promised to share about some of said acts of kindness because it never happened. Now, I wish it was only the follow up post that was a failure... but the truth is I did not carry out the challenge. I really struggled to find daily ways to share kindness with non-believers. The fact of the matter is on many days the only people I come in contact with are Jeremy, Grace, Faith, & Titus. And believe me I feel like my whole life is striving to be an act of kindness towards them.

But, I digress. The fact that I failed has really bothered me all year. I really do want my Christmas season to be focused on Jesus. SO.....I am trying again. I have decided to revamp the challenge in order to make it more doable. I am going to do an act of kindness each day towards someone else in Jesus' name. (believers, non-believers, family, friends, etc.) And I have asked Jeremy to join me. Together we brain stormed a list of possibilities which should be helpful on the days when I am struggling to think of an idea.

So here it goes another try!! Please, hold me accountable this time.

Jesus, I really do love you and I know that you know that. I am sorry I gave you such a junky gift last year for your birthday. (I know, I know you don't remember since you already forgave me) But, I'm excited about a new start- let the gift giving commence!
