Good morning, friends.
It seems these days we have a national day for just about everything.
National Dog Day.
Cat Day.
Son Day.
Daughter Day.
Hot Dog Day.
Game Day.
You name it, we’ve probably celebrated it.
And honestly, I think celebrating is a good thing.
But I’d like to propose a new one…
“Help a New Friend Day.”
The goal isn’t recognition. It’s not, “Look what I did.”
It’s simply sharing ideas that encourage us to love others with agape love—the kind of love that gives without expecting anything in return.
I’ll go first.
After I finish work today, I plan to mow my front yard. And while I’m at it, I’m going to mow my neighbor’s yard too.
Nothing big.
Nothing heroic.
Just one small act of kindness.
I’d love for you to join me.
Do something for someone today—especially someone who may never be able to repay you. Then come back and share your idea in the comments. Not for applause, but to inspire others to keep the blessing going.
Who knows?
Maybe one small act of kindness could start a ripple we never get to see.
Happy “Help a New Friend Day.”
Let’s celebrate by serving.
And please share this with someone you know that would love to participate. They are welcome here.
P.S.
Had to post an older picture of gran for this post. She always said when you pull up in your drive and see paper bags filled with veggies from someone’s garden in front of your door step, that is very special. And Godly….The fact someone worked, most likely sweat, and still thought about her always warmed her heart.
It just took me many years to fully understand that.
