    \n

  3. Remember an elderly person in your life\u2014visit them, send them a card, take them flowers, etc.<\/li>\n
  4. Have your child create a special card or picture and send it to school with a candy bar for the teacher.<\/li>\n
  5. Donate to your favorite charity.<\/li>\n
  6. Volunteer your time to serve food at a shelter or deliver meals to shut-ins.<\/li>\n
  7. Rake leaves for a neighbor or take a delicious dessert to a neighbor.<\/li>\n

  9. Text an encouraging word to 3 people in your contacts.<\/li>\n
  10. Give a monetary gift to a stranger.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Maybe your act of kindness would be forgiving someone.\u00a0 Be creative and think of what you can do. Let’s follow Jesus’ example, and make this world a place in which we all want to live!<\/p>\n
