Jesus calls us to love our neighbors, so make it a point to perform at least one random act of kindness every day this week.

There are so many things you can do, but here are some ideas to get you started: 

Give up your spot in line to someone else

Donate canned food to a local food pantry

Smile at someone 

Hold the door open for the person behind you

Donate pet supplies to a local animal shelter

Help your sibling or your parents with a chore

Pick up litter in your neighborhood park

Make and send Christmas cards to a local nursing home 

Go Christmas caroling with our family

 “Candy Cane Bomb” a parking lot: attach a candy cane to a card that says “Merry Christmas! Jesus Loves You!” and put them on windshields in a store parking lot. 

Leave a happy note for someone to find

Give your parents, grandparents, or siblings a hug for no reason 

Take Christmas cookies to your area police or fire department

Leave surprise Christmas cookies on a neighbor’s porch (try to leave it on their porch without getting 
caught—surprise cookies are the best!)

Give a family member a compliment, tell them the nicest thing they have done for you, what you think their best quality is, or why you think they are awesome

Invite someone who is sitting alone in the cafeteria to come join you and your friends for lunch
