Today we are challenged to be a lifesaver for someone going through a tough time.  It may be by praying for someone. It may be by asking family or friends what someone needs and then fulfilling that need. It may be a long term commitment to stand with someone going through a rough spell. 

Though I had a fairly full day I had a couple of times where I had to wait. I used the time to pray for people, particularly my family, mentioning each one by name (that takes a fair bit of time ?). I confess I don’t know what good my prayers do, especially not knowing what each person is facing, but still I offer them. All else I leave in God’s hands. 

For today’s challenge we are asked to invite someone new – however we might want to do that. Hhmmm … still not feeling up to that kind of challenge. Amazing how much this trip has taken out of me. I am just enjoying a stay-at-home day.

Today we are being asked to give a compliment to one or five or as many people as we can.  

Since starting on this Lenten journey I have made a much greater effort to see the people around me, to greet strangers. It’s a good feeling. 

Today we are challenged to do something kind for someone anonymously. 

I am feeling so exhausted these days that I can’t come up with a good plan. I think I will defer this one.

“…make a beeline for someone today and strike up a conversation.” This is the challenge for today – to be generous with our words.

Today I am exhausted. I had breakfast with 2 of my former neighbours plus was part of a planning meeting for church. I tried to visit Mom, but she was in a church service at the home; my head was beginning to ache and so I left. This is a challenge to leave for another day.
