February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just
My 52 Week Challenge is called AOK (Acts of Kindness) The challenge is simple and yet very challenging at the same time. Each week I will do something "extra special" for someone. It might be as simple as sending a card to someone that needs an extra special touch, a pan of cookies for no reason, a plate of food, a wrapped gift, or whatever! The ideas are endless. WHY? Everyone desires kindness. Even if you are the type of person that loves giving to others and you do that regular this is a different type of challenge. This is to challenge us to really think and pray for guidance. "Who needs what this week Lord? I can assure you that you will get the bigger blessing. My challenge with AOK started on January 6th. I am excited as to whom God would like me to bless this week. How about you? Are you up for the challenge?
I like this Cindy. I tried to do something similar for my birthday - instead of giving me a gift I asked they give a gift to someone else - to bless someone for my birthday!

Not sure if you read one of my posts...but I was blessed with 84 frozen pies...and it's been so much for for me the kids to be giving those away as God leads.
Thank you for doing this...you are a wonderful inspiration. I look forward to getting to know you through your blog.
Blessings,
Connie
