Birthday Acts of Kindness

--by Jacinda, posted May 8, 2012

I read a post by Bluebell saying she was going to do some extra random acts of kindness during September, her birth-month. I’m in too!

On Saturday I volunteered at a rest home for a few hours. Every Saturday a group of my friends and I go around to the rest home and sit and talk with all the people there. It is amazing at what a difference you can make to someone’s day just by taking the time to sit with someone who is sick and listen to them and talk with them. They love you talking to them and as youth taking a real interest in them.

During September, I'm going to go around to the rest home and spend time with the old people every Saturday.

I also left a bright and happy thank you card and smile card for the cleaner who comes to clean my room every few days at university to show her how much she is appreciated.

Thanks for reminding us that we don't have to give something that cost anything...giving our TIME means much more and will make a huge difference in someone's life. I'm sure they look forward to seeing you gals!
:) Thanks for sharing with us...and Have a Happy Birthday! :0) ~Aurelia
