RACK – R andom A cts of C hristmas K indness

Testimonies & Videos & Ideas

“God doesn't give you the people you want; He gives you the people you NEED…to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to make you into the person you were meant to be.”

We will start each morning with a prayer that God will lead us to the people that most need to receive a Random Act of Kindness that day. We hope that our RACK's will be met with open arms, but people may be not always be appreciative of what we are offering. We trust that God will lead us to the right people, even if we do not see why we are being led there. We are not always aware of the impact we leave on people, but as we open our hearts and our minds to the needs of others we hope to make a difference to someone.

What a better way to celebrate the gifts from our God than to share the love of Jesus Christ with random acts of kindness. The "act" does not have to cost money but some do. This activity is not for acknowledgement but strickly for spreading joy and brotherly love. At the time of the Random Act of Christmas Kindness just give out one of the cards so they know the act was purposeful and deliberate. Then in your personal study and mediation time use one of the other cards to document your journey of R.A.C.K'ed. Not to look back with pride but to purposefully celebrate a Christmas season filled with loving kindness.
