In today’s world it is so easy to get bogged down by the negativity we see in our day-to-day lives. From the media focusing on the bad things happening around us to bullying in our schools to the unhappy person standing next to us in the grocery line, one thing is abundantly clear: We need to spread God’s love to combat the ugly in this world. And we need to teach our children to do the same.
But how? How can we make a difference in a culture consumed by social media statuses and who is the “biggest” and “best”? How can we quiet the loudness of the world’s lust for money and fame and exalt the One who is able to save our soul?
While there are many ways we can love on those around us, today I want to suggest that we spread love through Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) . RAK is a wonderful concept that allows us to model Christ to our children and those around us in a practical, real-life way. RAK are a wonderful tool to be the hands and feet of Jesus and give hope to those we meet.
Today I am sharing 25 Random Acts of Kindness to spread the love of God to those around you. These are things that your family can do together to bless others and grow closer to God and one another in the process.
2. Offer to walk your neighbor’s dog.
3. Volunteer to pick up garbage in your neighborhood.
4. Thank a police officer or firefighter for their service.
5. Bake cookies and take them to your teacher or Sunday School teacher.
6. Visit a nursing home and play games with the elderly.
7. Ask your family members how you can serve them each day.
8. Pray for someone who is hurting.
9. Let someone go ahead of you in line.
10. Hold the door open for a stranger.
11. Make cards that say “you are special” and hand them out to people you don’t know.
12. Put money in someone’s parking meter.
14. Hand out sack lunches to the homeless.
15. Organize a day of pampering for a mom who just had a baby.
16. Cook meals for a family who is going through a difficult time.
17. Visit terminally sick children in the hospital.
19. Buy gift cards to random places and hand them out to random people.
20. Pay for the person’s coffee in line behind you.
21. Draw pictures of God’s love and hand them out to those who could use hope.
22. Thank your local librarians for making sure you have great books to read.
23. Make a treat bag and hand it out to your postal delivery person.
The wonderful thing about spreading love through random acts of kindness is that it is pleasing to God and it feels great! There is so much truth in Acts 20:35,
“And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Not only does blessing those around you help spread God’s love, it is also a great tool to restore faith and hope to a fallen world.
Take the time to do some of the 25 things above and see how it affects your family and those around you. I encourage you to create 25 more RAKs to continually spread the love of Jesus with your family. Let’s go out into this world and spread God’s love every chance we get!

Today is Tuesday, and back when I was a teacher, I used to always say TERRIFIC TUESDAY to my students. That little bit of positivity set the stage for the day in my classroom. It starts your day off awesome if you start thinking about things in a positive way.
So, we were going for our walk this morning in South Carolina. As we were walking we passed by a house and a women was outside working in her yard. As I walked by I said, “Good Morning!”, and what she said next surprised me. She said, “Oh, wow! I haven’t heard that in a while!”.
I thought, wow, that’s kind of sad. When we go to a grocery store, or into Target, or anywhere, our kids are always smiling at people, saying HELLO, waving at everyone and making eye contact and being super friendly. Somehow as we get older we get away from that – we look away, avoid eye contact, don’t say Hello. And I just think that is not the way to live!
We should be approaching people with happiness and joy. Be the first person to look at someone and say “Hey! Good morning! Have a great day!”. Things don’t have to be going perfect – nobody lives a perfect life! – actually this morning Landon was having a little fit on our walk because he wanted to get out of the stroller and walk and we told him he had to wait until we came to the side road because we were on the main road.
Things happen, but that doesn’t mean you should be a grump! Just go back to those ways when you were little, when you didn’t have that scared filter, and that filter that avoids people. Be that person that spreads some joy and happiness. You never know what someone else is facing. Sometimes that simple “Hi, have a great day!” can make such a difference
So go out, spread some love, and I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

On November 15, National Philanthropy Day is observed as a holiday. It’s a day to recognize giving for a greater cause. Some may even say it’s spreading the love throughout the world. I personally feel like USG is a perfect example of a philanthropically recognized school. From the events we host to the way our school is designed, it is a point to make significant contributions in our community.
There are various signs all over that show that we are a school that is dedicated to giving. Just this week we had an Hunger Banquet which was meant to help spread awareness on poverty and hunger. Also, tomorrow November 16 is the last day to donate canned goods for Manna Food Center so be sure to give what you can!
Another reason I feel we qualify is because of the various designs on campus. We have a Green Garage which has LED lights with motion sensors and photo voltaic panels that generate renewable energy. During construction, a lot of the waste was recycled or reused in the garage. It’s even Parksmart Certified!
USG makes it a point that the community is growing and as it continues to grow, we should make sure that we are giving back to our environment in order to ensure that it is helping and not hindering it. Shady Grove has even taken initiative to sign the White House’s pledge in support for climate change. For more information on the sustainability of the campus visit here.
I found it super interesting that today is National Philanthropy Day and it made me look at my own actions to make sure that I am taking initiative in my life to make a change and give back to others in the community. So, I ask you all, how are you giving back?
Thanks for reading! Like I always say: ‘til next time!

In high school, I was a piss poor student.
Upon entering high school I could immediately tell that this was not the game that I was going to win in life. Some kids got straight A’s... and I could tell that I wasn’t going to be one of those kids.
I invested as little energy as I could into my school...

Your weight. Your height. Your eye colour.
Your income. Your job title. The car you drive.
Your wrinkles. Your fat. Your cellulite. Your bra size. Your penis length. Your hairline. Anything and everything that you obsess about when you look in the mirror.
It’s all noise.
All of those...

Intimacy can be downright terrifying.

I have had dozens of clients over the past few years who have described a sense of fear in allowing someone to see them emotionally. They feared getting close. They feared being comforted. They feared laying their heads down on their partner's chest because the...

Addictions are usually thought of as behaviours that damage and hinder your life.
But addictions and compulsions are on a sliding scale. Some, you could argue, are more useful than others. There’s very little upside to being a heroin addict. But there are many other habits that are considered addictions,...

SO! There’s a worldwide pandemic and your local government has told you to engage in social distancing for an unknown amount of time and you want to NOT go crazy?
I’ve got you covered.
We humans are a social species. In other words, we need each other in order to thrive.
And not knowing how long we’ll...

There's a funny quirk when it comes to human behaviour and motivation...
Most people will do anything to solve a deeply painful experience that they feel in the present moment, but very little to prevent that same event from entering their life in the future.
But it is exactly these...

Nobody is perfectly loving all of the time. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t aim to be.
We never know whether the people around us are hurting or happy, or some combination of the two. Either way, the only way of being that makes sense in this world is to be unreasonably kind and loving, to everyone that we meet.
How do we do that? Well, all we can ever influence is our thoughts, feelings, and actions today, in this very moment.
With that in mind, here are 31 ways to spread more love, kindness, and compassion into the world. Pick your favourite, and start with that.


Life’s too short to be so prideful. Just let them in.
Let them in even if they’re driving like a bit of a jerk… maybe they’re stressed out because they’re late for their first day of work… who knows?


Walk around with loose change in your pocket with the sole intention of putting it into people’s parking metres that have run low on time.
I’ve dedicated a corner of my dresser to be where I put my “metre money.” It’s my way of tithing to humanity.
(Side note: it’s illegal in some major cities to put coins in other people’s metres so you might have to do this carefully and/or watch out for parking attendants)


Parking metre attendants have to have one of the most difficult jobs. People are basically never happy to see them. I’ve seen so many of them being yelled at for simply doing their job.
To counteract some of this negativity, the next time you see one of them on-duty, sincerely thank them for doing their job. A simple “Thank you so much for the work that you do – I appreciate you,” will suffice.
It’s such a rare occurrence for them that they will likely remember you for months.


Are one or both of your parents still alive? Great!
Phone them up and tell them that you want to hang out with them, one on one, doing something that they enjoy. Leave the ball in their court and see what they come up with.
Or, if decision making stresses them out, suggest something that you know they’d enjoy and simply do that.
Get your parents at their best, and the conversation will flow. You never know how much longer you’ll still have your parents around, so make the most of the time that you have.


This is one of my favourite things that I do on a semi-regular basis.
If you see someone who appears to be homeless sitting in front of a store asking for change, ask him if he wants anything from inside of it on your way in. And don’t just lob the question over your shoulder as your feet keep moving. Really commit to it. Stop, look them in the eyes, and say “Hey, I’m just about to head in here to grab something. Did you want me to pick up anything for you? Anything at all?”
And just in case you’re worried that someone might try to take advantage of your generosity, I’ve done this at least once a month for the last year (whenever I’m in my hometown) and the biggest request that has ever been given to me amounted to a whopping $8.
Make the offer, gift them whatever they ask for (within your financial means), have a quick chat and/or shake their hand after, and be on your merry little way. It’s so easy to do, so just try it out.


Politely smile at a stranger as you walk down the street. Whether they smile back or not is irrelevant. The task is complete when you have spread love with your smile.


The next time you see someone that you know, greet them with the biggest, warmest, most sincere hug you can. Let them feel how much you love them.


Paint a painting, write a poem, record a song, make cupcakes… whatever way you enjoy creating, make something awesome and pass it on to someone who you think would most benefit from it.

And then hug people that come to you for hugs. Also, bring friends.


Can you tell that someone is fishing for a compliment about their outfit/body/hairstyle/car/profession/etc.? Take the bait!
Feed their egos and be all like, “Yes! You look like a total boss in that new car. I’m so jealous. It fits you so well.” Or, “I know! I can’t believe that profile picture only got sixty likes… you look so good in it!”
Obviously, the more sincere the compliment the better it will land. I’m not suggesting that you lie to people with your praise, just be more generous with it when the opportunities present themselves.


Just pay and leave. Bonus points if you do this for a table that is clearly celebrating an anniversary, a birthday, or some other major celebration.


Even if you never talk to them again in real life, the world will be a better and more loving place if you have let go of whatever resentment you may have held/be holding towards them, and you will further free yourself emotionally in the process.


Just because they’re awesome and you want to show your love for them.


Not sure how to write a love letter that will make someone teary eyed? Read this .


Not sure how to write a gratitude bomb that will make someone teary eyed? Read this .


Consider any dietary restrictions, make sure that they’re going to be home that night, and then bring it over. Eat it with them if you think they would like company.


If you’re happier when you’re home, you’re that much more likely to have the patience, and compassion to extend to other people in your life. Positive ripple effect for the win.


Because being in a new place can be scary, and maybe they’re too nervous to ask for help.


The next time you’re on a date, or at a family function, or hanging out with a good friend, put your phone away and keep it on airplane mode. Be 100% present with them and give them your undivided attention.
Your genuine presence will be an appreciated and valuable gift to any recipients involved.


Score-keeping is exhausting and it leads to resentment in relationships. So just do the damn dishes.

This one is challenging for a lot of people in many different ways. It might feel confronting for your values around money, around beauty, around whether or not you should be approaching strangers… which is why it’s so great to do. Growth for you, and a compliment for them.


Not sure what to do? Here are fifty ideas .


If you know someone who has a lot on their plate right now and might be feeling overwhelmed (i.e. maybe they just had a baby, or they’re depressed, or they recently went through a breakup, or they have a big exam coming up) ask them what you can do for them and then do it.
Bring them a meal. Do their laundry. Babysit their kids for an evening. Ask them how you can help, and then deliver on their request.


If their talent made you stop walking because you love what they’re doing, why not show your gratitude in a way that helps them pay their rent?


Go through your material possessions (books, clothes, movies, etc.) and donate as much of it as you can so that other people can benefit from the things that you no longer use.

Because they’ll probably never get tired of hearing it.


Going to get your haircut? Call ahead and ask your stylist/barber if they want you to pick them up a coffee/tea/kombucha/coconut water. Work in an office and you’re going out for a coffee run? Ask your co-workers if they want something. And then give it to them. It could cost $4 to turn someone’s week around. Be the kind of person that gives.


There are tons of people who are starting their own businesses/websites/blogs… now more than ever. Ask them if you can help support them in any way. They might be terrified of failing, or terrified of asking for help… so by offering it to them proactively, you might just make their day.
Ps. This isn’t a subtle way of me plugging my own website. If you’re reading this, you probably already support me enough. Thank you!


Rub their feet. Make them dinner. Help them orgasm . Whatever they ask for, give it to them.

. Lend a hand. Be of service to a friend or stranger in need.


Tell your friends why you love them. Tell your parents why you love them. Compliment your co-workers/friends/lover in front of other people regularly. Only say things that you mean, but say them often.


That’s it! Pick your favourites, and start with those.
Thank you so much for reading all the way to the end of this article. I love you, and you must be an amazing person to A) have even clicked on an article like this, and B) even more amazing that you read all 31 suggestions. GO YOU!
