A Challenge for You

Help moms by sharing this resource!

Why is it so easy to be critical of our spouse?  Or kids?  Maybe the proximity, or the fact that we all have a sinful nature.  Or both.  I’m not sure I can do these following 3 things – can you?  

  1. For 30 days, don’t say anything negative about that person -to them or to anyone else!
  2. Every day, find one thing to praise about that person. Tell them and someone else too. 
  3. Act generously. Every day, do one small act of kindness for that person. 

( These 3 items came from an article called “Kindness as a Superpower”, an interview of Shaunti Feldhahn. She has a book , called appropriately enough, ‘The Kindness Challenge’.)

Not being negative, finding things to praise, 1 small act of kindness….we can do this right?!

My blood type is B negative – really!- and I have always been good at critique, so I am adding a 4th thing for me….. Prayer! 

I am going to need help outside myself to pull this off. 

Should you decide to accept this challenge, I’d love to hear how it goes!
