Being Nice
Let me explain something first. One of my Lenten promises to myself is to post a reflection entry every day until Lent is over. Instead of giving up something to better myself (which I already am through a different goal) I also intend to better myself through daily reflection, thought, and prayer. Each day I will have a question which I will talk about my feelings on. So let's get this started!
Day 1: What is the nicest thing you remember ever doing for someone. What is the nicest thing you will do for someone this week?
The nicest thing I remember ever doing for somebody. I can't pick between two instances. Both times were an effort of mine to show support when I couldn't do as much as I pleased. Maybe this doesn't really qualify as nice but this is what I think. Anyways, the first instance is a friend was potentially really sick and very worried, and had a doctors appointment the next day. He was afraid he wasn't going to be able to sleep. So I stayed up all night so that way if he needed somebody, I would for sure be there for him. Luckily, he was fine and all ended well. The other instance was I set up a delivery of roses to someone because I couldn't be at the actual performance he was in.
Either way....I don't really like thinkign about myself as doing nice things. I'd rather think of it as making people happy.
Now the second question.What will I do this week? Every day I'm going to try to make at least one person smile, and open doors and help people whenever I get the chance. Maybe I'll have an opportunity to do more than that, but I think I'll let that be my goal.
Much love and hugs,
Sam

ReplyDeleteI can't decide between two things: 1) helping my grandmother die. in a good way. forgiving her for all the horrible things she's done and said and letting her die in peace while i held her hand, told her i loved her and prayed for her, or 2) asking my parents to take in a complete strranger so that he could have a start at a better life. The flip side is that it's caused a great amount of stress in our home and financial difficulty. In helping a friend, I ended up slowly destroying my family.
ReplyDeleteAs they say, no good deed goes unpunished.
As for this week, what will I do? I don't know...same thing I do every week. I listen. And share burdens.
