A Challenge for You
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?
- For 30 days, don’t say anything negative about that person -to them or to anyone else!
- Every day, find one thing to praise about that person. Tell them and someone else too.
- 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!
