Surprises - Random Acts of Kindness

When was the last time you did something so unexpected and so crazy that it sent you into a fit of giggling? Even thinking of the thing you want to do makes you grin like an idiot?

I asked myself that question last night. I asked myself when was the last time I did something that was truly the element of surprise. I though and thought and couldn't come up with anything. How sad! Then it hit me. If you do something unexpected and crazy you're usually doing it for or with someone. So it blesses two people, not just you but the one you surprise. You're thinking of someone elses' happiness in an unselfish way. That's the way it's supposed to be.

I challenge anyone reading this blog, today, to think of something fun, unexpected and maybe even a touch crazy to surprise someone you love. It could be as small as buying flowers to give to your wife, giving someone a good back scratching when they are tired or as outlandish as deciding to hop on a plane to be able to say hi to someone dear to you. I personally like the last thing. Yes, that's the one I'm going to choose.

It is the mission of every Christian to be a happiness-maker. Each one of us has power, too, to add something at least to the world's gladness. We can do this in a thousand ways--by being joyful Christians ourselves making our lives a sweet song; by telling others the joyful things of the Word of God; by doing kindnesses to all we meet; by comforting sorrow, lifting burdens away, cheering sadness and weariness, and scattering benedictions wherever we go. - An excerpt from "Green Pastures

Scattering benedictions wherever we go...Don't you love that!!
May the lord watch between me and thee while we are apart from one another ...
