I'm a big fan of the blogosphere, just because I think there are so many creative people out there and I love that I can experience a little bit of that through their sharing in blogs. With it being Christmas time and all, there are so many great Christmas themes out there and this is one that I wanted to embrace and share. Naomi Davis writes for rosckstardiaries and shared these great Christmas Challenges (there were actually 25, but I got them a little late, so I chose 20), that she gets from her mom each year. What a great tradition, hu? Here's the list:
- go out of your way-- befriend someone today that needs a friend and follow through to christmas
- tell someone you love them
- in your prayers today, give thanks for every blessing without asking for anything
- try to be as kind as possible to others today
- try not to quarrel with family members today
- do a good deed anonymously
- make goals for yourself-- seal a copy in an envelope to be opened in a year
- do something fun for a child or younger sibling
- try to forgive someone who has wronged you, be reconciled
- make a "give list" instead of a list of gifts you'd like
- quietly reflect and choose uplifting activities vs shopping
- phone or send a card to an old friend or family member
- make a christmas treat for someone else
- be a calming influence today and control your temper
- accept the gift of forgiveness-- pray for some weakness and ask for help in repenting of it
- look at christmas lights... where does all light come from?
- sing carols
- do something nice for someone without their knowing it was you
- be the first to say hello to people all day
- ask someone to tell you about a past christmas
