Today's assignment was to perform a random act of service and kindness for someone.
I offered free babysitting to a young mom. She's been sick lately, and I offered to give her a break by playing with her little boy. And/or, if she and her husband want to go on a date night later, I could watch him then. She hasn't got back to me yet, but I said I would keep bugging her so she knows I'm serious. ;-)
I've been wanting to do this more, since it's something I as a single have time for, and it's a way to bless and encourage married people. :-) It's also a way I can get a glimpse into their life, and perhaps appreciate more the trials (and joys!) of taking care of a child, something they do every day! AND, it's a good reminder that these folks are my family, and I want them to be able to rely on me now and then as I will definitely need to rely on them!

That's it! I'm only sorry I didn't do more today! I suppose I'm allowed to do them later, not for the Challenge, right? ;-) Some of the ideas, like paying for someone's meal or coffee anonymously, sounded like too much fun!
Enjoying your updates!
