| Our Lenten Tree |
|
| |
During the season of Lent our corps was challenged to do anonymous acts of kindness and mercy to those around us. We had a special Lenten Tree in our chapel. Every time an act of kindness was performed the person wrote down on a white cross the act, but nothing more, and hung the cross on the corps Lenten Tree. Here are few things that were done during our Lenten season:
Passed up a close parking space at Wal-mart for someone else to have.
I asked 4 strangers throughout the week if I could pray for them.
Put flowers in front of door and rang the door bell as I disappeared.
Put a package on someone's vehicle.
Slipped money in someone's pocket when they didn't know it.
Over "tipped" a waitress
Gave in secret flowers to a Valentine from our "Heavenly Father."
Let someone have my space in line at the checkout.
Gave tickets to a special dinner anonymously to a family.
Thank you to everyone who participated this year, may the Lord bless you richely for your acts of kindness and mercy.
In Christ
Carlyle
