It is So Easy…

To make someone’s day.

To change someone’s life.

To make a difference.

So easy.

Really.

SO EASY.

Drop a friend a quick note.

Send an encouraging text message.

Tell someone you are thinking about them.

Remind someone that they are valued.

Let someone know that they are forgiven.

Say a prayer.

It is so easy. Yet so powerful.

This is a reminder to make today about something bigger than you. Bigger than the Super Bowl.

Go do it. Right now.

A special thanks to two friends who made my today brighter by simply saying something I needed to hear. Alece and Matthew, thank you!

    Great post, Lindsey! Really it is so easy to make someone's day; I know how easy it is for me to perk up when people let me know I am valued and special to them. And yes, it is bigger than the Super Bowl. I don't even like football!

    What a good reminder. We don’t do that often enough for people who are important to us. Life gets too busy, but should never be too busy for others! Thanks.

    Great reminder. I think we get so caught up in our own lives and how busy we are that we forget that it only take 30 seconds to send someone a text message that may brighten their day or even their week. Great post!

    I often have ideas of things to do for people – an email, card, cake, etc. But then I often talk myself out of it, especially if I am not very close to the person. I always worry they might think I am weird for doing something out of the ordinary. But I am realizing more and more that this is how God made me. He gave me eyes to see needs and if I don't use that skill, then I am just like the man who buried his talents. So I am learning to get over myself and just act on my first inclinations.

    It is easy for me to think about how much I need that from others, but to forget to offer it to myself to others! Great post!
