Tuesday Four~ Showing Kindness

Hosted by Annie!

Do put up birds houses or have a bird feeder or bath?  We have some bird feeders, and a couple of bird baths.   We love to watch the birds at the feeders during the winter.  We do not usually feed them through the year. We have planted various sources for the birds, but winter is definitely the time to remember the birds!

 The bible says your domesticated animals are to eat before you do since they cannot 

provide for themselves , what pets do you have and when do they eat? We haven’t had pets since our daughter, Amanda left home. 

Do you feed the birds in winter?  Yes, we do! 

How can we show kindness to others? Suggestions?

We believe in helping others with acts of kindness... we are actively working on committee in our church to help and serve others in need.   This world is starving for acts of kindness! One way is to pay for the person in line behind you at chic Filet. Or just hold the door for folks coming in behind you.  Showing others that you care and think of them before yourself. 

We send seasonal gifts to children and families to a poor village in Guatemala.  

We do Christmas food boxes for the needy in our community

We serve an inner city after school program that is providing Christian teaching and after school care, tutoring etc.  we help provide food and help with new winter clothing for the children. 

We “adopted” several children through the years in India through Bibles for the World.  Our boy now is Joseph. We pay for his school fees and needs.  He then has the help he needs to get a great education and hope for his future.  His family is ultimately helped as their children receive this boost up in life. We receive letters from Joseph every couple of months.Prior to him we helped 2 other children until they graduated. 

We   give monthly to Operation Smile that provides  corrective surgeries for cleft palates to under privileged children around the world. 

We give month to Samaritan’s purse which helps hurting people all over the world.. due to catastrophic circumstances. 

There are zillions of ways to invest in showing kindnesses where hope is waning and circumstances are crushing in.    And there are so many opportunities in communities .  Senior living facilities are always anxious for people to serve,  sit and visit, read, sing, play the piano.  The virus will not last forever, hopefully!   Writing Christmas cards to soldiers, or seniors, or volunteering at Rescue Missions, especially during the holidays.
