Say Please and Thank You

It's the little things that sometimes count, like saying thank you or please and we often forget!

A three year old said please to me today and I said "I love how you just said please" she smiled at me and said "I love saying please it makes people smile!" From the mouths of babes

40 Acts

40acts is a campaign from Stewardship that encourages you to do Lent generously.

Lent is usually about 'giving stuff up', isn't it? What if you could add something transformational to the traditional?

What if you could give up chocolate and give the money to your favourite charity? What if you could turn the TV off and spend more time helping your neighbour? What if your Lent, this year, was a preparation for a lifetime of big-heartedness?

So consider 40 Acts this Lent

Someones Child

Mission Sew

I have a friend who goes to Gambia to work with a school, many of the children have uniforms in disrepair. She once mentioned that she would like to sit and sew buttons on! She was just about to go on another trip and I got inspiration from Emergency Kits post to make a little sewing kit for her with what she needed.

And I enlisted the help of four and six year old, which made it a super fun make!

Do it anyway

little things....

Emergency Kits

I saw these wonderful little packs on Second Chance Susan. Making little emergency packs for friends with things that are relevant to that person relating to something that is relevant to them. People will really know you care if it is relevant to them.
