Happy Love Month Friends!
My friend Lyndsay, of Pink Coffee Photo recently asked me and a few other bloggers to partner up with her in a fun event she's started! Have you 'met' Lyndsay? If you haven't--- hop on over to her blog---after you read this of course and say hi! I LOVE Lyndsay! I'm so thankful for the internet bringing us together! Her life truly shows Jesus! It's always so refreshing to read her blog!

It's Love Month afterall, so why not share a little love with those around you?
It doesn't have to be big. It can be to your own family. What better place to start, than at home?
It can be to strangers. To co-workers. To friends.
Some things I'm thinking about doing is:
Making Valentine Cards with Easton to deliver to the elderly
Make a basket for the nurses that took care of my Grandmother (and my family) after her stroke
Make cookies for our neighbors
Tip a little extra one night at dinner
Deliver a new mom & dad dinner
Look for someone who might need help at the grocery store, and offer help
That lady, that's always in the median after I pick up Easton, selling the homeless paper, give her some money
SMILE at strangers.
GET THEM TO SMILE BACK.
Little things go a long way!
There's a lady in my building at work, and she's always got a smile on her face and a light in her eye.
She always pays a compliment to me, and it always happens on days I need it most.
It makes the biggest change in my mood when I am graced with her presence on the elevator.
I passed her in the parking lot earlier this week and she was ALL SMILES at 8am. ALL SMILES.
And you know what, I'm certain she knows Jesus.
You don't radiate that kind of smile and love without Him.
Friends, That's what this is all about.
Sharing love to those around you.
Strangers. Friends. Family. Anyone.
You may be the only Jesus they ever see.
And. You know what makes this even better.
Your kids are watching!
Easton watches every move we make.
He may not mention it right away, but he notices. It could be a day or two later, but he'll ask me about something I did.
Little eyes watching. Make them see momma different than the others.
So, join us!
You don't have to have a blog to link up, but if you do, come back here on the 14th and link up!
{you're post will show up on all the other hostess' blogs too!}
{{maybe you'll meet some new friends to share some love with in the process!!}}
Here's the girls that are sharing the love too! Check them out!
Show us how you've shared the love!
If you post something on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, tag your post with #sharethelove2013 and be part of the fun!
Galatians 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers.
Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh,
but through love serve one another.
Happy Love Month Friends!
Alright!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Easton taking Valentine's cards to the elderly. So adorable!!! Glad you are joining me in the challenge!
ReplyDeleteYou are precious. How'd i get so lucky! Im in! You might have to help me "link up" tho! Ha. Xoxoxoxox Mom
ReplyDeleteI love you! Your way with words always gets me. And just so you know, I think I'm usually that person in the store who looks like I need help. :) And how cute is your Mom?^^ I'm praying for her!
ReplyDeleteLove the scripture verse you used :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in!!! Can I just say....no matter what day, it's not a good day unless you do SOMETHING for someone else. It may sound selfish...but it really makes for a good feeling to do something/anything for someone else.
ReplyDeleteLET"S GO!!!

Love that verse! I made my own little 'printable' of it months ago and it's hanging in my bathroom...it's sort of our family motto. Thank you for sharing your heart :)
ReplyDeleteI love love month. :-) It's so wonderful to have even more of an excuse to love on others!
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me as always. I am going to link yours and Lyndsay's "share the love" events to my blog. No one could inspire people more than the way that you two have in your blogs to share the love. I'm going to start to make a conscience effort to share the love. Like momma peg though - you are going to have to teach me to "link up"
