Thoughtful Things
I have been thinking a lot about thoughtfulness lately... thanks to my grandma. She is probably the most thoughtful person I have ever met. She is always thinking of others, whether she knows them very well or not; and she gives freely from her generous heart. My grandma has a good outlook on life and her perspective on people - seeing the good, the pretty, the potential and understanding weaknesses, pain and shortcomings - is refreshing and inspiring. She has taught me the virtue of thoughtfulness, of sharing love and reminding people how important they are. So I decided to come up with a couple of ideas to show people that you are thinking of them and that you care about them...
Offer your maid services to someone... free of charge! Chores can be daunting, and often I procrastinate until I can't take it anymore. But the tasks do seem to be finished in a snap when my helpful hubby chips in!
Make a donation to a worthy cause. There are many people hurting in the world, and thankfully, there are those who are doing something about it.
Grow a green thumb! Plant some flowers in your grandma's garden or offer your neighbor to mow their lawn while you're mowing yours.
Treat someone to lunch. You can do this whether you can afford to take someone to a lovely restaurant or whether you want to pack a lunch and take a friend to the beach!
Make something for someone. Get creative and think outside the box!
I'd love to hear from you! What are some thoughtful things you do to let people know they're loved? What are some things that people have done for you that made you feel special? Please share! :)
Be inspired. Feel the love.
xoxo,
Kaela

Get to Bakin'! Bake some sweets and deliver them to someone who might not be feeling the love... an elderly neighbor or perhaps a friend you haven't seen in a while?

Be adventurous! Go on a hike, take a canoe ride, stroll in the park and enjoy a picnic... and take someone who really means a lot to you... your hubby, your parents, your sister, your friends.

Tell someone that you love them. Let them know what they mean to you. You don't have to spend lots of money on gifts, or even rehearse eloquent speeches; it's not about those things- fancy possessions and expressive words. Just share what's on your heart. We are on borrowed time, and we never know how much of it we have left.
And a word to the wise... hope, don't expect, that others will be thoughtful or appreciate what you do. That's one thing I learned from Grandma. Always think of others. Always sacrifice for others. Always love others. Be generous and give from your heart. And expect nothing in return. Read Luke 6:35, Romans 12:13, 2 Corinthians 9:11.
I'd love to hear from you! What are some thoughtful things you do to let people know they're loved? What are some things that people have done for you that made you feel special? Please share! :)
Be inspired. Feel the love.
