Friday starts the first day of November.
Yes, time is flying by (I think I say that every year.)
November is the month with that wonderful holiday called, "Thanksgiving."
As you may or may not know I graduated highschool this year (hooray for 2013 grads!)
So yes, I do have a part time job. Cleaning houses not the most ideal job, but hey its good practice right?!
But even with the job I still have more time to twiddle my thumbs then I did when I was in school.
In those moments today of twiddling my thumbs and thinking about how I can serve others and give glory to God instead of being a lazy bum, I thought of doing what I'm calling...........
Pretty much every week for the whole month of November I'm going to be doing something for someone else to show how them I appreciate them and I am 'Thankful' that they are there. :)
4 Weeks Of Being Thankful For Others!
Week 1 : Nov. 1st-9th
Someone or a group of people in the community
(police force, Fire department, local ministry,mayor...etc...)
Week 2: Nov.10th-16th
Your role model.
Someone's example that you follow. Show them you are grateful for them and some of them may not even realize that you have been looking up to them, whether its an older girl/women in your church, a friend, a sibling, just show them you appreciate the example they are setting for you.
Week 3: Nov. 17th-23rd
Your choice
This week choose something that is close to your heart. It could be an organization, a homeless shelter. An idea I saw someone on youtube do was you could buy flowers and had out a flower to every mom you see coming out of your local store and tell them that you just want to appreciate all the hard work they put into nurturing their kids and family. This could totally turn a young mom whose having a bad day and make her feel valued.
Week 4: Nov.24th-30th
Family
Since this is the week of Thanksgiving I figured I'd make it easier an something closer to home base. Do something special for your family this week to show them you are truly grateful for their involvement in your life. (could be grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins...etc...)
I'm going try to post pictures from each challenge if I do in fact take photos.
Make this month about others instead of yourself.
