Random Advent Acts of Kindness

I want to be intentional this month with others.  It is December, my favorite month of the year and we have SO very much to be grateful for...it's time we step out of our box a little bit more and love others well.

Here is the list I have come up with, with the help of fellow bloggers and our boys'.  Things we want to try to do this month.  One each day would be ideal, although realistically I am thinking 5 per week may be what we can do with our schedules.  Some are things we have done in the past and some are brand new.

My prayer is that we would not only bless others through this, but that we ourselves would be even more blessed.  Loving as Jesus would love in HONOR of Jesus' birthday.
