So yesterday was Day 1 of our 40 Days of RAOK. We drove to downtown Auburn and "fed the meters" to shoppers who had just parked their car and to cars that had a "Violated" sign on their meter. Earlier during the day, I had visions of my sweet darlings smiling at strangers and handing them quarters, telling them to "Have a blessed day!" Not quite how it happened! Lots of fighting over who get s to feed the meter, who gets to turn the handle, who gets this car, blah, blah, blah. And I even had a couple of questions like this, "If I don't put my quarters in any of the meters, can I have my money and get an ice cream?"
So yeah, it didn't quite go as I had planned!
Say a prayer for us on Day 2!

40 Days of Lent = 40 Days of Random Acts of Kindness
I'm back in the blogging world and I apologize for my abrupt absence. I had to add some security measures to my blog for the sake of my children's safety, then we moved to the lake for the summer, then school started and life happened. But I'm back to document (hopefully!) the next 40 Days (at least).During the hectic Christmas Season, I decided that I wanted my children to experience the true meaning of Christmas by practicing Random Acts of Kindness (RAOK). However, I could never quite get it together. But I decided then that Lent seemed to be an even more appropriate tome to fully experience what it means to be a Christian and to teach my children about the sacrifice that Jesus made for them and the love God shows for them. I want to make Lent a meaniginful experience for them by practicing 40 Days of Random Acts of Kindness and I CAN'T WAIT to bless others and watch as my chidreln not only bless others, but experience their own blessing that comes from loving others.
