Brighten Someone's Day!


Today, I’d like to challenge each of you to make a difference in someone’s life. It isn’t hard, it doesn’t take much time, and it doesn’t cost much (if any) money! Just imagine how much better the world would be if we all went out of our way to try to brighten someone else’s day. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Pray for someone, and then call and tell them you prayed for them.
2. Tell someone that you appreciate not only what he or she does, but also who he or she is.
3. Take a friend to lunch.
4. Say “thank you.”
5. Point out the positive in a situation where the negative seems so obvious.
6. Hug someone that needs to be hugged.
7. Send someone an e-card.
8. Visit someone who is in the hospital or confined to home.
9. Tell someone you work with that you think that they do a good job.
10. Let someone go ahead of you in traffic or the grocery store line even if you got there first.

There are countless ways that we can brighten someone else’s day! Take the time to make a difference!
